  You can build a macro on the fly to do some transformation for, say, a line of text, or even a function, and just repeat those manipulations. Usually they are crude combinations of vim inputs that work well enough for the situation at hand.

  One transform I've done a few times is something where you have a list like this: foo bar baz And you need each line transformed into: [Foo](https://example.com/foo.html https://example.com/foo.html) Or something like that. Macros make short work of it.
