This wiki attempts to introduce you to writing macros even if you had not studied computer science. However, it is like reading and writing: there is some spelling and grammar to adhere to, and knowing the basic rules makes life easier. You'll soon get used to it, and will refer back to this documentation only in rare cases.

In turn, sorry to every trained computer software designer: this might eventually read like 'writing macros for dummies' - and this is by purpose

There are several formats and notation conventions which are used in macro files, and others which are used in this documentation.

• Console and simulator - how actions on the consoles are described
• Macro file format - what to observe when creating macro files
• Macro Folders - where exactly are the macro files stored
• XML format - a veeeery basic introduction into the format macro files are written in
• The Syntax of Functions - understanding how functions are described in general
• Control Structures - conditions and other means to control the flow
• namespaces - a way to keep order of the functions, properties and other stuff
• datatypes - numbers, words, yes & no: the various types of values
• Action and Menus - when a menu needs to be toggled in addition to the action
