HoTMetaL PRO defines `events' at which special user-defined macros will be called automatically to perform some special processing. The events currently supported are:
When a special macro is called, first checks the macros defined for the current rules file (Macros/rulesname.mcr) and then the application macros (the file Macros/hotmetal.mcr). If the macro in question is not defined, HoTMetaL PRO continues with its normal operations.
Special macros are usually not intended to be run directly by
users; they are called automatically by HoTMetaL PRO when the associated events occur in an HoTMetaL PRO
session. You would not normally attach these macros to a toolbar button or menu item. You may want
to prevent them from appearing in the Macros
dialog and toolbar, by setting the
optional hide attribute of the MACRO element to
true. It should also never be necessary to
disable
special macros.
