A lot of your frustration comes from the fact that (as the example
file you had the good and appropriate idea to attach to your email
showed it clearly to me, i.e., there is an <inactive|...> tag in
your document), you do not know the difference between the Source
editing mode and the wysiwyg mode (where macros are *hidden* most
of the time).

Sorry if this point is not made clear in my tutorial, or if I did
not insisted sufficiently HEAVILY on this. I know pretty well that
these kind of stupid little details are exactly the thing that stucks
people who do not yet know a software.

(1) most of the markup examples in my tutorial are intended
  to be inputted when inside the *Source editing mode*, otherwise
  one can understand nothing to what's happening ;

(2) to go in the Source editing mode, select :
  << Document->View->Edit source tree>>
  in the << Document >> menu. Do the same
  once more time to go back to the wysiwyg
  mode ;

I read the rest of your email & send other answers in some
dozens of minutes.


Best, Henri
