The chapter on Advanced Page Templates, as well as the Page Templates Reference will tell you how. Of course you might want to read the chapter on Page Templates first.
But, basically, you define a macro in your source template by using something like:
<span metal:define-macro="usefulbit">This is a <b>useful</b> snippet that I can re-use elesewhere</span>
Then in your destination template, you write:
<span metal:use-macro="here/source_template.html/macros/usefulbit"> default content </span>

First of all thanks Felix for your reply. I ckeck the zope book and your example, but I still have one more question. When I define a macro I can add any ZPT code I want, I mean I can add code that calls SQL Methods, scripts etc or is just for dtml code purposes. I mean just to reuse dtml for looks or I can jsut for everything. Imagine I want to implement some user control or get some user preferences from a database for each template I have, can I include it in a macro and use it later on. thanks in advance Gerardo Amaya
