What this really needs is a sample website which shows how these snippets 
all work together. Trying to make sense of these little fragments in 
isolation is hard work.

Is there an example of a small sample website which highlights the use of 
macros?

Hi John,

This is about as simple as it gets (sorry if i misunderstood your
question):

(1) Name this page template ptMacros



 This is Page Template template
id.


  Copyright 2001, Foobar Inc.

  



(2) name this page template ptTest

   
 This is Page Template template id.


 Copyright goes here

  




...which is basically the same as in the Zope Book:

Is it standard practice to put macros into a common folder where they can 
be used by numerous different websites?


I just can't get a handle on how they are supposed to be used.

According to:-

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/AppendixC.stx

Macros provide a way to define a chunk of presentation in one template, 
and share it in others, so that changes to the macro are immediately 
reflected in all of the places that share it. Additionally, macros are 
always fully expanded, even in a template's source text, so that the 
template appears very similar to its final rendering.



This does not really tell me how they should be used. Can someone give me 
an example of real world usage?



 


Hi John,

This is about as simple as it gets (sorry if i misunderstood your question):

(1) Name this page template ptMacros


   
  
 This is Page Template template id.

(2) name this page template ptTest


 
  
 This is Page Template template id.



Copyright goes here

 


And test it out.

David
