This is interesting, but it is the reverse of the previous
functionality. What I had was:
#+MACRO: data Snippet of awesome text that changes sometimes.
#HTML: <p class="awesome">{{{data}}}</p>
Your sample code is the equivalent of this, kind of:
#+MACRO: foo <p class="awesome">$1</p>
{{{foo("Snippet of awesome text that changes sometimes.")}}}
The original intent was to avoid changing the snippet of awesome text
everywhere it appears.
Your code actually does not actually work with my Org
(7.9.3e-1032-g791a8d). It asks me: "Evaluate this org code block
(html-foo) on your system? (y or n)" and is not happy with either
answer, exporting nothing.
This almost works, I think ...
#+name: snippet-awesome
#+begin_src org :exports results :results raw
Snippet of awesome text that changes sometimes.
#+end_src
#+HTML: <p class="foo">
#+CALL: snippet-awesome :results raw
#+HTML: </p>
... except that it doesn't actually export anything, and changing
:exports to none doesn't help. And neither does removing the :results
raw from the call.
If it did work, it would be closer to what I had. Not perfect, but
closer.
Maybe a babel specialist can say what is wrong with my attempt, or maybe
it's a bug.
I hope you won't spend more time on this. You've spent way too much
time on my trivial problems already.
Thanks again!
Terry
