EmEditor Help - EmEditor Macro Reference - Directives

I miss the info that this Directives must be
on top of the script at the first lines, above the main code.
(Maybe this is familiar for coders, but not for all people)

And we need no enclosing the text in quotes " "
because the are then part of the title or tool tip too.

------------------- --------------------
I have testet this issue with this little macro:

#title = Enclose selection with %...%
#tooltip = Tooltip: Select some text and execute this macro to put an %-sign in front and at the end of the selected text
'// enclose an selection with sign
mySign = "%"
selText = document.selection.Text
selText = mySign + selText + mySign
'alert selText
document.selection.Text = selText
