Re: [O] Can I wrap a Babel call inside a macro?

I did the following test, not fully successfull:

: 20140123.2339
Date/time:
#+CALL: current-time()
#+results:
: 20140123.2339
#+MACRO: ct #+CALL: current-time()
The current date and time is:
{{{ct}}}.
as the HTML export gives:
div id=outline-container-sec-1 class=outline-2
h2 id=sec-1span class=section-number-21/span Tests/h2
div class=outline-text-2 id=text-1
div class=org-src-container

/pre
/div
pDate/time:/p
pre class=example
20140123.2338
/pre
pThe current date and time is: #+CALL: current-time()./p
/div ^^

As macros are expanded _before_ Babel calls are executed, I'd think this
is possible, but I must miss something...
FWIW, I couldn't reproduce your problem in either maint or master
branch.

BTW, the period seems dubious here.

What do you mean? That, because the macro will ultimately make a Babel
call, it can't be inserted inline in some text, right?
I'd have to write:
The current date and time is:
{{{ct}}}
.
Is this what you mean?
Best regards,
Seb
PS- I'll have to look why it works for you and not for me...

Correct. After macro expansion, this will become:
#+CALL: current-time().
which isn't valid Babel syntax, AFAIK.

OK. New tests confirm that, definitively.
So, when you said it worked for you, it wasn't with the exact same ECM,
then. Case closed. Thanks!
