key.%0:s' +
      'The "param" macro takes a list of comma separated arguments.%0:s' +
      'The first argument is the default value.%0:s' +
      'The 2nd argument (optional) can be used to link the cell to 
another cell (syncro edit)%0:s' +
      '%0:s' +
      '  while param("foo") do param(foo);%0:s' +
      'Inserts 2 independent cells, both with the default text "foo"%0:s' +
      'The quotes are optional%0:s' +
      '%0:s' +
      '  if param("foo") > 0 and param("foo",sync=1) < 99 then%0:s' +
      'Inserts 2 linked cells, editing either one, will change the other 
one too%0:s' +
      'The value "1" refers to the position of the other "param()", so 
if there are more params:%0:s' +
      '  if param("bar") and param(foo) > 0 and param(foo,sync=2) < 99 
then%0:s' +
      'The 2nd and third are linked. (the 3rd refers to "2") %0:s' +
      '%0:s' +
      '"sync can be shortened to "s":%0:s' +

      'The 2nd and third are linked.%0:s' +
      'Note: "Sync has no position and no "=", so it syncs to the 
previous cell with the same default (in this case "foo")' ;
