Re: [O] Custom formatting during export

[Julian Gehring]

Hi Gabe,

Macro replacements [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Macro-replacement.html]] 
should be what you are looking for.

For example, the macro

    #+MACRO: pkg  $1

would be called by

    {{{pkg(PkgName)}}}

You can also use this to format your input for one or multiple backends

    #+MACRO: M @@latex:\$1{@@$2@@latex:}@@

Let me know if this helps.

Best
Julian
