<<.from-version "5.3.0">> Macros have been [[superseded|Macro Pitfalls]] by [[Procedures]], [[Custom Widgets]] and [[Functions]] which together provide more robust and flexible ways to encapsulate and re-use code. It is now recommended to only use macros when textual substitution is specifically required.
!! How Macros Work

The key difference between substitution and transclusion is that substitution occurs before WikiText parsing. This means that you can use substitution to build WikiText constructions. Transclusions are processed independently, and cannot be combined with adjacent text to define WikiText constructions.
