Variables and Macros allow you to create your own macro subroutines, or save a value in a variable for later use within your template. A common use of macros would be a capsule style layout for your table of contents pages, or a subroutine to create suggested author links. It is also common to place all of your site's macros in their own file that your templates can all reference. Organizing your templates like this, can aid in streamlining and modifying your templates.
