Subject: How to handle strings with commas in macros?
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 12:29:09 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2204071222270.52468@shell3.miskatonic.org> (raw)
I'm using macros to format names in a LaTeX export, like so:
#+latex_header: \newcommand\m[1]{\textsc{#1}}
#+macro: m \m{$1}
Thus
{{{m(William Denton)}}}
becomes
\m{William Denton}
on export and LaTeX will format it. That works fine. But in an index of names,
if I want
{{{m(Denton, William)}}}
then Org takes that as two arguments to the macro, and outputs
\m{Denton}
Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks,
Bill
