[PHPTAL] Grabbing the METAL template from an object

I vaguely remember seeing some very simple way to include a macro from an object. I remember thinking, "Wow, that reminds me of lisp macros, I could use that some day".

Well, that day is now. It turns out I definitely need this functionality, and I can't find the reference to where I saw how to invoke it.

Basically, the METAL template will be in the database, so users can edit it with a WYSIWYG editor. I fish the user-edited template out of the database, and now I have to get PHPTAL to use it.

My naive attempt-- which failed-- was:

    <div metal:define-macro="main_body_macro" 
         tal:content="structure page/thank_you_notes/obj/main_body"></div>

        <div metal:use-macro="main_body_macro"></div>

Which of course failed. How should I be doing this?
