Lists macros that allow to select from a fixed set of values. These macros are used to define the range of document property values. So they are a tool for template authors.
- Audience
The selection macro is a quick option to select from a list of values. The drawback is that this list of values is not extendable by authors. Also there is no description defined by the team for those values. If neither of this is a problem, use one of the section macros. If you want to have more control over those values consider to define a new doctype and use the Name List Macro to select from them.
