Abstract
Embodiments are provided for rendering markup language data representing a macro as macro objects in a graphical user interface on a display device and for converting macro objects to markup language data. In one embodiment, markup language data representing the macro from a data source may be translated into macro objects for display in the graphical user interface in response to receiving a paste command in an application program. The macro objects visually represent the macro. The application program may automatically convert the markup language data into the macro objects. The macro objects are then automatically rendered in the graphical user interface. In another embodiment, a selection of macro objects displayed in the graphical user interface may be received via a copy command in the application program. In response to receiving the copy command, the application program may automatically convert the selected macro objects into markup language data.
