- I am trying to put together a macro to reformat an ASCII markup file (like
- PostScript but simpler) and have run into a few problems I can't quite
- figure out from the macro help file:
-
- * How can I move a highlighted block of text into a variable, something
- like "assign variable blocked-text" or otherwise use it in an IF..ELSE
- block?
-
- * How do I move a block of text (highlighted again) into a separate part
- of the document (or another document) for editing and then put it back
- all under macro control? (I think this will be easier than trying to
- process the table markup rather than leaving it in place)

- Please respond by email to scst52@csc.liv.ac.uk as I seldom read the news
-
- Thanks in advance,
