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
