Where in the docs...

[David Dyer-Bennet]

...could I find information on macro definition and substitution? 
Comments in various places describe "$HOSTADDRESS$" as some kind of macro
substitution, and other examples show multiple sets of parameters in
somewhat strange syntax in service invocations (and refer to $ARG1$ and
such), but I haven't found where these things are actually documented or
explained at all.

I've been able to write a number of new service, command, and a couple of
host definitions, even some that use parameters, and they work, which is
nice (and even useful, already), but I need to understand macros more; are
they pre-coded, which ones exist, and so forth.  I'm sure the way I'm
doing things now is repeating things a lot more than is necessary (yes,
I've looked at the tip for multiple hosts with the same services, etc.,
and I do understand at least some of them).
