Macros allow you to perform programmatic functions within a page, and can be used for generating more complex content structures. Generally speaking, a macro is simply a command wrapped inside curly braces {...}.

Macro libraries are collections of macros which may work together or provide common functionality. They also allow groups of macros to be enabled or disabled together. (Added in Confluence 1.1).

Confluence comes bundled with a host of useful macros, but users can also create their own macros to do specific things.

Between Confluence 1.2 and 1.3, macros were made a part of the Confluence plugin architecture, with each macro being a plugin module. As such, the configuration files needed to configure a macro for Confluence have changed. Follow this link for information on converting between 1.2 macro libraries and 1.3 plugins
