Mark the column by macro
-
I would like use a macro to select column from position X of the second line to position Y of the last line.
Please is there some simper solution than X times repeat message 2306 ….and next commands?
Where can I find some description or manual for macros syntax in Notepad++?

Sorry, not that I know of. The macro language is a simplistic language that just sends messages to the scintilla editor components for the active editor window, or sending GUI commands (activate menus, etc) to the Notepad++ GUI. It’s essentially recording keystrokes.
Where can I find some description or manual for macros syntax in Notepad++?
The official docs at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/macros/ have a link to the config-file description for the macros section of shortcuts.xml, and that has a link to the detailed description from Scintilla for all the Scintilla messages.
If you want to do something more complicated – especially if you want X and Y to be variables – then you will need one of the scripting plugins, which embeds the full features of your favorite programming language (Python, Lua, JavaScript, Perl, …) into the Notepad++ environment, so the programming language has direct access to the scintilla editors and the Notepad++ GUI. That makes loops or variables possible. Each of those refenced plugins has good documentation
