It isn't clear to me why you would want it to appear when you type it. You could as well run a M-x command and enter it. It seems more clear to me you would want emacs to recognize it later and give you easy access to the information related to it. see also my org-ref package, where we do this for citations: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/03/16/Update-on-org-ref-it-is-now-all-emacs-lisp/ Maybe some of these videos would give you some other ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjxS9m8QCoo functional chemical formulas in emacs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogavyl_QXiU clickable text https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cEb6F9AEu0 (org-ref + helm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zya8SfmCtFA (older version of org-ref) Stephen J.
