I've just started to use the macro capabilities of rn and I have some questions. What I would like to do is have a macro that pipes the current article through a script via the | command (e.g. "| front") and then runs another script program via the ! command (e.g. "!front2"). Basically, the first command does some work on the article and then the second command acts on the results. The reason I do it this way is because I need to get input from both the article and the keyboard. So, to sum it up, I am trying to figure out how to make a macro that will do the equivalent of: |front !front2 with one keystroke. I have tried unsuccessfully. I am also interested in seeing macros that people use, just to get ideas on what is possible. So if anyone out there has any interesting macros, I'd like to see them.
