MACRO and HTML escapes and migration to org-mode 8

MACRO and HTML escapes and migration to org-mode 8

[Adrian]

I've finally bitten the bullet and tried to get my org-mode export
working with the new export mechanisms, so far so good.

My current sticking point is with my use of #+MACRO and "@" escapes in
them -- they used to work in the old version of org-mode, in the current
one I get them quoted verbatim into the HTML output with text like

@&ltspan blah blah >text@&lt/span>

I must be missing the key part of TFM, since section 12.5.3 seems to say
that "@" still escapes simple HTML tags.  I've got a header file that
includes the line:

#+MACRO: datetime @<span class="datetime" title="$1">$2@</span>

This is then included in the org-mode files with

#+SETUPFILE: ~/path/macros.inc

Then in the text I have entries such as
{{{datetime(2013-04-01,yesterday)}}} -- and it all used to work.

Hi, Adrian,

The fine manual is not yet up to date with the new exporter, so when you're
bitten, check http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html.

The "@" html-tag quoting has been replaced with a generalized "export
snippets" syntax (currently described at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html#sec-8-1).

This works:

#+MACRO: datetime @@html:<span class="datetime" title="$1">$2</span>@@

Yours,
Christian

Aha, and so it does.

I thought I'd tried that prior to my posting, I know I tried a few
variations, must have made some mistake along the way.

Many thanks.

It'll take some time before I remember to indicate the backend after the
@@'s, but I generally like the new syntax much better.

Yours,
