11.6 Macro replacement
======================
You can define text snippets with
#+MACRO: name replacement text $1, $2 are arguments
which can be referenced in paragraphs, verse blocks, table cells and
some keywords with ‘{{{name(arg1,arg2)}}}’(1). In addition to defined
macros, ‘{{{title}}}’, ‘{{{author}}}’, etc., will reference information
set by the ‘#+TITLE:’, ‘#+AUTHOR:’, and similar lines. Also,
‘{{{time(FORMAT)}}}’ and ‘{{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}}’ refer to
current date time and to the modification time of the file being
exported, respectively. FORMAT should be a format string understood by
‘format-time-string’.
Macro expansion takes place during export.
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) Since commas separate arguments, commas within arguments have to
be escaped with a backslash character. Conversely, backslash characters
before a comma, and only them, need to be escaped with another backslash
character.
