Macros are commands that are designed to be executed in series. In World of Warcraft, you can use them to check for buffs/debuffs, cast buffs, and a whole slew of other uses. Needless to say, they're a very important part of a WoW gamer's bag of tricks.

That said, we're bringing you guys a mod that's centered on making macro writing easier and more powerful. This mod is called arjLib and it's from unarj, who also gave WoW gamers the simpleMinimap mod. Here's a list of available functions:

* parameters in brackets ([parameter]) are optional.
* for all functions will default to 'target' except buffing functions ('ibuff','cbuff') which defaults to 'player' if 'target' is hostile.
* also, party spells ('pbuff','pres','pheal') will always return current target if valid.

-- cast / use functions
cact(action, [target]) - use action by name
cattack() - cast attack if not active and target in range
cinfo([channel], [target]) - say target info into a channel
citem(item, [target], [inv]) - use ineventory/bag item
cpet(spell, [toggle]) - cast pet spell
cshape([shape]) - cast shape/stance
ctop(spell, [target], [rank]) - cast top rank of spell
ctrack([track, ...]) - list of tracking spells to sequence

-- buff / debuff functions
ibuff([spell], [target], [index]) - is buff active?
cbuff(spell, [target], [max]) - cast buff if not active
idebuff([spell], [target], [index]) - is debuff active?
cdebuff(spell, [target], [max]) - cast debuff if not active
