Macro help

Is there a way to write a macro for a dice roll that includes multiplication? Example: Spirited Charge feat from Pathfinder. When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance). My lance damage would be 1d8+4x3, what would be the correct formula?
Try: "/roll (1d8+4)*3"
Or type "/r 1d8+4" and multiply the result by three. Obviously you manage when you are playing face to face and using real dice that don't do arithmetic for you.
Balladeer, thank you very much, that's what I was looking for! Agemegos, Thank you captain obvious! I've seen your argumentative posts and I can tell you think highly of yourself. Excuse me for trying to streamline the gaming process. I can write my character on paper, so why use a computer? To streamline it!
There is actually a good reason to keep Roll20 as simple as possible. I don't believe that adding features to execute trivial operations does streamline gaming with Roll20. Each of the little things that so many of us ask to have added is insignificant in itself, but their combined effect is to make the user interface arcane and forbidding. So that instead of being something that any gamer can sign into quickly and simply and use right away, it is in danger of becoming something that you have to read the documentation to learn how to use. When the UI reaches that point it will produce resistance amongst potential users, and a lot of gamers will no longer be happy or even willing to use it.
As far as I know in d20 rules when something multiplies like that, you're not supposed to roll then multiply the result, you're supposed to multiply the dice and modifier. So instead of this: /roll (1d8+3)*3 It should be this: /roll 3d8+9
Is there any way to organize your macros? I made a bunch for each weapon's damage roll I have and then another version for if that weapon crit. Is there a way to drag and drop the macros or organize them in a way so when I pull out the weapon of choice I can quickly scan the list?
