Hi Russell,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm going to need to work with the LaTeX files themselves after writing
and editing the drafts in org mode, so I want the macros to stick
around after exporting the org file to LaTeX.  My understanding is
that the {{{macro}}} approach would expand the macros during that 
export.

Best,
Gray
