\section{Basic Macros}
As mentioned above, only definitions placed in \verb|header.tex| are global for your entire article. You can use all flavors of \TeX's definitions (\verb|\def|, \verb|\edef|, \verb|\xdef|, \verb|\gdef|, \verb|\newcommand|, \verb|\rewnewcommand|, ...) to your liking.
If you want to discuss a notable entity, such as \latexml, you may want to define a handy macro which:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Links to the entity's Wikipedia page
\item Is available in your entire document (define it in \verb|header.tex|)
\item Flexibly figures out if it needs a trailing space or not\footnote{one of \TeX's original weaknesses with its macros}
\item Is easier to write than the entity's full name
\end{enumerate}
Here is one way you can achieve that, with the entities used in this tutorial:
\begin{lstlisting}
\def\authorea{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorea}{Authorea}\xspace}
\def\latexml{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeXML}{LaTeXML}\xspace}
\def\latex{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX}{\LaTeX}\xspace}
\end{lstlisting}
