You can define text snippets with
#+MACRO: name replacement text $1, $2 are arguments
which can be referenced in paragraphs, verse blocks, table
cells and some keywords with
{{{name(arg1,arg2)}}}124. In addition to
defined macros, {{{title}}},
{{{author}}}, etc., will reference information set
by the #+TITLE:, #+AUTHOR:, and similar
lines. Also, {{{time(FORMAT)}}} and
{{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}} refer to
current date time and to the modification time of the file being
exported, respectively. FORMAT should be a format
string understood by format-time-string.
Macro expansion takes place during export.
Since commas separate arguments, commas within arguments have to be escaped with a backslash character. Conversely, backslash characters before a comma, and only them, need to be escaped with another backslash character.
