-; Q) So what can a macro do?
-: A) You can call [[World of Warcraft API|any script command]] (/script ''ScriptFunction''), any standard WoW /command such as /say or /attack, and any additional /commands made available by the AddOns you've installed, for example if you install [[Cosmos]] you can use the [[Cosmos Slash Commands]]. If you need to write a long macro, write it as an AddOn in a lua file and bind it to a slash command, just like the Cosmos ones. See the section on Lua and XML for more details.
-; Q) What's the real deal with pauses?
+{{faqq}}So what can a macro do?
-: A) You can't use a pause before a spell or ability. However... you can kinda do pauses in certain ways. Firstly, the [[Cosmos]] [[Cosmos Slash Commands|slash commands]] includes a /in option. This will NOT work with spells or abilities, but works fine with chat commands. For example: "/in 5 /say Heal on the way!". You can also use certain script commands based on time, such as the movement commands. See the [[World of Warcraft API]] for more on those.
