They are macros for making macros. How's that for self-reference? If you are editing a text macro file, you can use these macros as templates for new definitions.

Text macros are one of those user extensible, but largely undocumented, features of Xcode.

It's also one of the topics that didn't make it into my book due to space constraints. Which is good news for you: It's available as a free bonus section that you can download here <http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-047175479X.html>. Follow the link to the download code section, then get the bonus chapters disk image. The file is "ch 19 - Custom Text Macros."
