Hello,

I'm using text macros, and want them to be replaced both in the text body, but
as well in the title or date of the document:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+MACRO: thesoft ABC
#+MACRO: thedate November 2011

#+TITLE:     Data Sheet: {{{thesoft}}}
#+AUTHOR:    {{{thesoft}}}
#+DATE:      Copyright (c) {{{thedate}}}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the old LaTeX exporter, it works for AUTHOR, but not for TITLE nor DATE.

With the new LaTeX exporter, it does work for TITLE and AUTHOR, but not for
DATE.

Best regards,
  Seb

It should be fixed in master.  Thank you.

Any chance of getting them to work in Clocktable and/or Dynamic Block lines? Example:

#+MACRO: when lastweek
#+TITLE: Summary Report for {{{when}}}

* Clock Report for {{{when}}}
#+BEGIN: clocktable :block {{{when}}}

For now, that is not possible since macros can allow happen in parsed
data (and dynamic block arguments are not parsed).

Macros may change, though. I'm pondering if they could go back to
a lower (and less safe) level, i.e. before parsing.
