Ah. Looking at that section, "backquote" instead of "backtic", and
the comma is a "special marker". Exactly what I needed.
Much obliged,

A back-quoted form is just like a quoted form, except every ,foo is substituted
by the evaluation of foo.
(defvar foo 123)
`(foo ,foo) => '(foo 123)
They can be nested:
`(foo `(foo ,,foo))
And lists can be directly interpolated:
(defvar foo '(123 456))
`(foo ,foo) => '(foo (123 4

Hi there,
Many thanks for org-mode and all of its amazing capabilities. This elisp
newbie (but fluent in many other languages) has a concrete and simple request:
Where do I find good-enough documentation for the backtics
prefixing the parenthesis and the commas prefixing the associative
list val
