[Panu Matilainen]

> +Macro expansions can recurse up to 64 levels.
+
+## Shell expansion
+Shell expansion can be performed using *%(*_shell command_*)*.
+_shell_command_ is expanded before executing it with _/bin/sh_, whose output
+becomes the expansion of the macro. The trailing newline is deleted.
+
+Example:
+```
+%(echo aa-bb-cc | tr '-' '.')
+```
+
+## Conditional expansion
+The macro processor supports testing whether a macro is defined or not.
+
+*%{?macro_name:value}*

Oh indeed. And, they should be uppercase, like such placeholders everywhere. 
I knew there was something wrong with this section but couldn't quite put my finger on it :sweat_smile:
