Useful WML Fragments

Most of the things found here are macros (see PreprocessorRef) that must be copied into a scenario file or another file included first by the campaign, and then used in the scenario (or multiplayer map). Remember that a macro cannot be used at a point before it is defined.

Some things not to do here:

• Don't add macros that duplicate things in the core macro library.
• Don't add macros that are trivial syntax shortcuts.
• Don't add macros that generate unbalanced syntax fragments.

Try to avoid adding pages here. It is better to find a category in which your code fits and add it to that page.
