IIUC, a macro is a function - a function returning a Lisp form. > This macro simply evaluates to 42. This should be a function. Yes, I wanted it to evaluate to 42. I expected the constant 42 in the code.

What I want is to understand the difference between just C-M-x'ing these forms and evaluating them in Org-mode. > Sam Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
