this should now work.
But note that the opening parenthesis must be attached to the macro
name and the closing parenthesis must be attached to the "}}}",
just as you have done in your proposal.
I have not tested this, please verify.
thank you!
Almost perfect: there seems to be some confusion as to when MACRO
arguments are passed verbatim and when interpreted in org-fashion.
Ideally, there should be a way to make sure that one gets verbatim
text, possibly without leading white space.
(1)
{{{person(minerva_logo.png,
...)}}}
and
{{{person(
minerva_logo.png,
...)}}}
differ. The first version passes "minerva_log.png" as the first
argument to the MACRO, the second version turns it into
"minerva<sub>logo</sub>.png".
(2)
{{{person(minerva_logo.png, somebody.jpg,
line1 <br/> line2 <br/> line3 <br/>,
address@hidden
)}}}
works fine, however,
{{{person(minerva_logo.png, somebody.jpg,
line1 <br/>
line2 <br/>
line3 <br/>,
address@hidden
)}}}
creates "line1" folled by a line break (as expected) but all
following HTML code rendered as text:
line1 <br/> line2 <br/> line3 <br/>< [...]
(3)
{{{person(minerva_logo.png, somebody.jpg,
line1 <br/>
line2 @<br/>
line3 @<br/>,
address@hidden
)}}}
this works (observe the inconsistency between line1 and the other
lines: no "@" here) up to and including line 3, the rest is HTML
markup rendered as text just as in (2).
Warm regards,
Stefan

Hello,
I find org-mode's MACRO feature very useful for exporting to HTML
as it allows you to generate literally any HTML construct that you
need, here is a simple example: http://www.nf.mpg.de/kinderuni/kinderuni_en.html
(see the "Colophon" section; thanks again to everybody from the
list who helped!).
For another project, we need to generate a table with many (multi-
line) rows like this:
| logo.png | somebody.jpg | name \\ telephone \\ email... |
The images have different sizes (so some alignment is needed) and
the text in the last column should have several lines (which
should be next to the person's portrait). This can (currently) not
been done with standard org tables (I am not complaining).
With something like this:
#+macro: person #+HTML: <table><tr><td style="vertical-
align:middle;margin-right:2em;margin-left:2em;padding:5px;">[...]</
table>
{{{person(logo.png, somebody.jpg, address@hidden, name<br/
>telephone<br/>room<br/>group<br/>[...])}}}
the problem can be solved and yet again org-mode's flexibility is
demonstrated.
The MACRO can be hidden in a setup-file. However, the MACRO call
can not and it looks like a kludge and is awkward to read. MACRO
calls work well with few and short arguments - different from this
case. The problem is that org-mode seems to require the brackets
in one line for MACROs to work. Assuming this restriction was not
there, one could write in a much more readable fashion:
{{{person(
logo.png, somebody.jpg,
address@hidden,
name<br/>
telephone<br/>
room<br/>
group<br/>
[...]
)}}}
and (just a thought) might expect white space in front of an
argument to be ignored and linebreaks in arguments conserved.
Maybe there is a better way to pass longer arguments to MACROs?
Any help is appreciated.
Warm regards,
Stefan
