In some areas of the site, you can create default text, such as a default e-mail messages. Macros are tags are placeholders for that text. When the text is generated, real-time information is substituted for them.
For example: registered sellers can generate invoices to buyers after receiving an order. BrickLink uses a default template for invoices, but the seller has the option to fully customize the whole layout and add or remove text.
Below on the left is a sample of an invoice and on the right is the default template from which that invoice is generated. The template uses macros for the different types of information, such as order ID, buyer address, or items in order. When an invoice is generated, the order information is substituted for the macro. Macros are the keywords enclosed in left and right brackets. Click Here for a full list of all the macros that you can use, their explanation and e-mail types where they can be used.
