This document provides summaries of 4 macros: 1. The "response-time" macro displays response time data from a specified page. 2. The "color-table" macro applies alternating row coloring to tables with the "confluenceTable" class. 3. The "watermark" macro adds a watermark image to the page with options to specify the image, repetition, and minimum height. 4. The "draft-watermark" macro inserts a "Draft" watermark image on the page by calling the "watermark" macro.
