Hi all,

I need some clarficiation here.

I tried the following :

...
#+MACRO: internal #+BEGIN_HTML\n<div class="move">\n<a href="#"
onclick="toggleContainer('Home', '$1');"> $2 </a>\n</div>\n#+END_HTML
...
* Some title
[2013-01-13 dim. 09:31]

{{{internal(2, 'foo')}}}
...

The I call org-e-publish and the html file produced has the macro inlined
in the html output :

<p>
#+BEGIN_HTML\n&lt;div class="move"&gt;\n&lt;a href="#"
onclick="toggleContainer('Home', '2');"&gt; 'foo'
&lt;/a&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;\n#+END_HTML
</p>


However with this :

#+MACRO: internal @@e-html:<div class="move"><a href="#"
 onclick="toggleContainer('Home', $1);"> $2 </a></div>@@

the result obtained is as expected.
Why is it this way ? I would have expected the first version to also work.

Incidentally, there is a potential difficulty with macro arguments and
quoting.
Arguments to macros are not quoted and seems to be split wlong with commas.
Maybe a quoting mechanism would be needed (how to pass an argument with a
comma ?)

Thanks in advance,

Fabrice

That's because macros are single line objects. Your first example, when
expanded, will generate:

  #+BEGIN_HTML\n<div class="move">\n<a href="#" onclick="toggleContainer('Home', '2');"> 'foo' </a>\n</div>\n#+END_HTML

with literal "\n".

Macros are a simple answer to simple problems. If you want to construct
something more elaborate, I highly suggest to use Babel.
