Is there conceptually any difference between scripts in Leo and
macros in other languages (not macros in C, but macros i.e. in
Microsoft Word, Access or Visual Basic)?
Two, no three, no four, no five, no six, no seven differences:
1. Leo scripts have access to outline structure. Most other scripting
languages do not.
2. Leo scripts have full access to all of Leo's source code.
3. Leo scripts can be built up from outlines via section references.
4. Leo script can be embedded in @button nodes.
5. Leo scripts can be embedded in @test nodes.
6. Leo scripts can create external files, a special case of:
7. Leo scripts can do anything Python can do.
I could be wrong, but I believe that emacs Lisp-based scripts can do all
that as well.
