Hi, Adrian, The fine manual is not yet up to date with the new exporter, so when you're bitten, check http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html.
The "@" html-tag quoting has been replaced with a generalized "export snippets" syntax (currently described at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html#sec-8-1). This works: #+MACRO: datetime @@html:<span class="datetime" title="$1">$2</span>@@ Yours, Christian Adrian writes: > I've finally bitten the bullet and tried to get my org-mode export > working with the new export mechanisms, so far so good. > > My current sticking point is with my use of #+MACRO and "@" escapes in > them -- they used to work in the old version of org-mode, in the current > one I get them quoted verbatim into the HTML output with text like > > @<span blah blah >text@</span> > > I must be missing the key part of TFM, since section 12.5.3 seems to say > that "@" still escapes simple HTML tags.
