Hi, Finally, I have made public on GitLab my experimental branch for the new (possible) inline-special-block element:
<https://gitlab.com/maciaschain/org-mode.git> The code incorporates fixes and modifications and I have also added some ideas from Maxim Nikulin. The LaTeX and HTML backends are complete, although of course it can still be perfected. Recapitulating the necessary information: The new element can be nested and supports other elements such as links, macros, emphasis marks, etc. The basic syntax: ┌──── │ &foo{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── produces in LaTeX: ┌──── │ \foo{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── and in HTML: ┌──── │ <span class="foo">lorem ipsum dolor</span> └──── There is also an anonymous variant: ┌──── │ &_{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── Optional attributes in square brackets are supported. There are a series of 'universal' attributes, common to each backend. At the moment: `:lang', `:color' and `:smallcaps'. Example: ┌──── │ &foo[:color red :smallcaps t :lang it]{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── Specific to the LaTeX backend we have the `:prelatex' and `:postlatex' attributes (which introduce arbitrary code before and after the content) and `:latex-command', which overrides the exported command. `:latex-command nocommand' does not export a command flag. Examples: ┌──── │ &foo[:prelatex [bar] :postlatex {baz} :lang it :latex-command blah]{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── ==> ┌──── │ \foreignlanguage{italian}{\blah[bar]{lorem ipsum dolor}{baz}} └──── ┌──── │ &_[:prelatex \foo{bar} :color red]{lorem ipsum dolor} └──── ==> ┌──── │ {\color{red}\foo{bar}lorem ipsum dolor} └──── Likewise, for HTML we have the `:html-tag' and `:html-class' attributes (which override the tags and the class name) and another one, more generic, `:html', which introduces arbitrary code, such as `style="..."'. We can group lists of attributes as aliases. The syntax waould be: ┌──── │ &alias!{text} └──── and we can also combine aliases with more single attributes: ┌──── │ &alias![more-attributes]{text} └──── An example: let's imagine that we want a specific block for short quotes in Latin and italics (it is normative in some typographical traditions that quotes in classical Latin are put in italics instead of quotation marks): ┌──── │ #+options: inline-special-block-aliases:(("latin" :lang "la" :latex-command "textit" :html-tag "em")) │ │ Caesar's famous quote: &latin!{Alea iacta est} │ │ Caesar's famous quote: &latin![:smallcaps t :color blue]{Alea iacta est} └──── ==> LaTeX: ┌──── │ Caesar's famous quote: \foreignlanguage{latin}{\textit{Alea iacta est}} │ │ Caesar's famous quote: {\scshape{}\color{blue}\foreignlanguage{latin}{\textit{Alea iacta est}}} └──── == HTML: ┌──── │ Caesar's famous quote: <em lang="la" class="latin">Alea iacta est</em> │ │ Caesar's famous quote: <em style="color:blue;font-variant:small-caps;" lang="la" class="latin">Alea iacta est</em> └──── Best regards, Juan Manuel -- Juan Manuel Macías -- Composición tipográfica, tratamiento de datos, diseño editorial y ortotipografía
