21 +The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
22 +
23 +* Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
24 +* You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
25 +* Example macros include:
