Wow macro conditionals :

Conditionals are used to control actions based on information.
Syntax: /command [conditional] parameter; [conditional] parameter
Conditionals are enclosed within square brackets ,seperated by a comma if more than one.
The comma can be seen as an "and"
Conditionals/parameter groups are separated by semicolons.
The semicolons can be seen as an "else"
Example : /cast [help,@focus] Renew
When you click this macro , first the [help,@focus] condition is tested and when true (you can cast a helpfull spell on your focus ) Renew is cast.

[combat] : True if you are In combat
[exists] : True if you have a tartget
[dead] : True if Target is dead
[harm] : True if you can cast harmfull spells on the target
[help] : True if your target can receive a beneficial effect

[stealth] : True if stealthed
[vehicleui] : True if the player has a vehicle UI
[unithasvehicleui] : True if the target of the macro has a vehicle UI

All targeted conditionals are evaluated on your current target by default. You can change the target of the macro by using a targetting modifier.

[@focus] evaluates conditionals based on your focus target.
[@player] evaluates conditionals based on yourself.
[@mouseover] evaluates conditionals based on the target you mouse is hovering over.
