This is a path expression with a file (abc.pt) and path ("context/",
signifying the context of the call)...

In your example, you seem to have confused the file and folder - I
suspect you want something more like: -

<metal:macro metal:use-macro="context/[folder_name]/abc.pt/macros/page">

...meaning "the macro "page" in the file "abc.pt" in the folder
"folder_name", with all the usual caveats about acquisition.

I generally start with the examples in the latest (?) Zope book (2.7) on
Plope.org. The reference is appendix C: -
