The DEFINE block contains the DEFINE language construct and variable definitions used later in the HTML blocks. The following example shows a DEFINE block with one variable definition:
%{ ********************** DEFINE Block ************************%}
%DEFINE {
page_title="Net.Data Macro Template"
%}
The first line is a comment. A comment is any text inside %{ and %}. Comments can be anywhere in the macro. The next statement starts a DEFINE block. You can define multiple variables in one define block. In this example, only one variable, page_title, is defined. After it is defined, this variable can be referenced anywhere in the macro using the syntax, $(page_title). Using variables makes it easy to make global changes to your macro later. The last line of this block, %}, identifies the end of the DEFINE block.
