Nested macros and fontification

Nested macros and fontification

[Juan Manuel Macías]

Hi,

I make heavy use of replacement macros, and often my Org documents are
full of nested macros (in the 'LaTeX way') throughout the text. The
problem is that `org-fontify-macros' breaks the macro fontification when
it is a nested construction.

I've found a simple high level solution that consists in ensuring that the
macros have a look identical to normal text (in my theme):

(set-face-attribute org-macro nil :bold nil :foreground black)

And then I only highlight the macro boundaries with `highlight-regexp'. I
think that this gives me a more legible and consistent text, without
that 'rainbow effect' that many themes apply to macros. I share a couple
of samples, in case this little solution is helpful to someone who also
uses a lot of (nested) replacement macros:
