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/>,
somebody@nf.mpg.de
)}}}
works fine, however,
{{{person(minerva_logo.png, somebody.jpg,
line1 <br/>
line2 <br/>
line3 <br/>,
somebody@nf.mpg.de
)}}}
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/>,
somebody@nf.mpg.de
)}}}
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
