I find these tests horrible to debug when something goes wrong. I suggest to stay with `org-test-with-temp-text', or, if needed, `org-test-with-temp-text-in-file' and make the test self-contained. Also, I think it is better to have only one `should' or related, outside of this macro, so the whole test is easier to evaluate partially. See, e.g., "test-org-footnote.el". Obviously YMMV and the more important thing is to have more tests. How tests are written is a lesser matter. Feel free to ignore my suggestions. Thank you for your work. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
