This example demonstrates how to create a user macro that can contain text that is visible when viewing a page, but does not print. 

Before you start, see Writing user macros for an introduction to creating your own user macros.

To create the 'Hello World' user macro:

  1. Go to  > General Configuration > User Macros.
  2. Choose Create a User Macro.
  3. Enter the macro details (see table below)
  4. Choose Add.
