FAQ

How do I change a Macro I already inserted?

Double-click the Macro in the content to reopen the "Edit Macro" modal.

Why is the Macro I need marked as "Not installed"?

The list also offers the Macros of the Extensions that are not installed on the wiki yet, and selecting one of those replaces the "Select" button with an "Install" button.

Why is my Macro displayed inside a line of text?

A Macro inserted while the cursor sits inside a paragraph is inserted inline; insert it on an empty line to have it displayed as a block.
