Automatic macros are implicitly defined and updated in conjuction with the setting of the corresponding project property. Automatic macros always have all-lowercase names.
TaskJuggler supports the following automatic macros, which all default to the moment when TaskJuggler was invoked:
| now | The current date and time as defined in the project header. |
| projectend | The project end date and time as defined in the project header. |
| projectstart | The project start date and time as defined in the project header. |
User defined macros are defined in the project file by using the macro property. The name of a user defined macro must have at least one uppercase character in order not to conflict with automatic macros that might be added with later versions of TaskJuggler.
