Macros

git:lastUpdated

Will replace the string @git:lastUpdated with the date that the file was last updated according to git log.

def

Will replace a string @def Figure X This is the caption with a proper caption and wrap the caption and the element above it in a div to keep them together and simplify styling. The syntax is @def <type> <id> <text>. Replaces the id with an incrementing counter per type.

ref

Will replace a string @ref Figure X with the id used when @def Figure X was replaced. The type of the reference is case insensitive, but case will be preserved in the replaced text. I.e. @ref Figure X will be replaced with Figure 1 and @ref figure X will be replaced with figure 1.
