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.
