If you have a template 'my_macros' ...
---
<div metal:define-macro="x">
   <div tal:content="y"/>
</div>
---

... and you use the above macro in another template ...
---
<div tal:define="y string:test" tal:omit-tag="">
   <div metal:use-macro="here/my_macros/macros/x"/>
</div>
---

... the output will be:
---
<div>
   <div>test</div>
</div>
---

You don't need to pass the value to the macro.
