I wonder if it is possible to use the macro option (#+MACRO:) to save the typing
of header options (of code blocks). For example, currently it does NOT work if I try to use
#+MACRO: p :file $1.png :width 1000 :height 800
to shorten the header of a code block to
#+begin_src R {{{p(plot)}}}
Anyway, I found Org-Babel Mode to be a great tool since Sweave for writing R literate program document. I wrote a how-to article on its use (see attached file "how-to-use-*.html", other files are raw and support files). Hopefully it can be useful to some users.
Sincerely,
Feiming Chen

If you read the appropriate section of the manual
(info "(org)Macro replacement")
you will find that
"...
Macro expansion takes place during export, and some people use it to
construct complex HTML code.
"
so no: you cannot use it for the purpose you describe. Look into various
abbreviation expanders (a lot of people here like yasnippets) or into
the simple abbrev expansion mechanism that org itself provides:
(info "(org)Easy templates")

Have you looked at the community written documentation on Worg[1]?
Maybe you can improve it instead of writing a separate Howto?

Are you willing to add this file to Worg?
http://orgmode.org/worg/
It is useful to have as much tutorial as possible, even if
there might be some overlap with existing content.
Let us know, and thanks for this contribution,
