Nico, thanks for the reply. i'd suggest reverting (most of) 7efa... so that foocall_foo() *stays* as foocall_foo(). (i.e., put the "\\<" back in front of "call_" and "sys_".) otherwise, we have no (straight forward) way (am i right? sometimes my head hurts!) to get a plain "foocall_foo()" in the output.
(whereas, with 7efa reverted, we can get "foocall_foo()" in the output by writing exactly that, and, if we *really* want foo<RESULTS>, for <RESULTS> == results of executing call_foo(), we write foo<ZSWP>call_foo().) thanks for the pointer to org-export-filter-final-output-functions. cheers, Greg
