After a macro is defined (see the previous section), you can use (invoke) it in your document like this:
@macro-name {arg1, arg2, ...}
and the result will be just as if you typed the body of macro-name at that spot. For example:
@macro foo {p, q}
Together: \p\ & \q\.
@end macro
@foo{a, b}
produces:
Together: a & b.
Thus, the arguments and parameters are separated by commas and delimited by braces; any whitespace after (but not before) a comma is ignored. To insert a comma, brace, or backslash in an argument, prepend a backslash, as in
@macro-name {\\\{\}\,}
which will pass the (almost certainly error-producing) argument `\{},' to macro-name.
If the macro is defined to take a single argument, and is invoked without any braces, the entire rest of the line after the macro name is supplied as the argument. For example:
@macro bar {p}
Twice: \p\, \p\.
@end macro
@bar aah
produces:
Twice: aah, aah.
