Isn't this very similar to a #+MACRO definition but with a different syntax and only for the HTML backend? Maybe we could allow backend specific macro expansion definitions. Something like: #+HTML_MACRO: ruby <ruby> $1 <rp>(</rp><rt>$2</rt><rp>)</rp> <\ruby> #+LATEX_MACRO: ruby \ruby{$1}{$2} Then {{{ruby(東,ひがし)}}} will be expanded appropriately for different backends. What do you think? Cheers, PS: Actually on second thought it is probably possible to handle this with filters although I failed to find the appropriate filter. So you could try: #+MACRO: ruby <cookie><$1><$2></cookie> And the filter can translate the cookie to the appropriate backend specific expansion. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
