Indeed. There is no support anymore for that feature. Macros are
a simple tool for simple tasks. Anything more complicated would overlap
with Babel functionalities. There's no point in providing that.
As a side note, the old exporter is wrong anyway, since only line breaks
should ensure to keep a real line break in the output.
Also, a macro can be replaced with a more complicated Babel call, if
needed.
