-Macros are a powerful tool.  In the context of Emacs Lisp programming
-they can also provide us with a "foot-gun" of immense proportions.
-Join the dungeon-mode project as we trip over our own macros, so to
-speak, in the context of building a GPLv3+ turn-based role-playing
-game engine and game design features for Emacs.
+Users will generally only make use of a few predefined `special
+blocks', such as `example, centre, quote', and will not bother with
+the effort required to make new ones.  When new encapsulating notions
+are required, users will either fallback on HTML or LaTeX specific
+solutions, usually littered with `#+ATTR' clauses to pass around
+configurations or parameters.
 
-In this 20m talk I'll briefly introduce some rationales leading to
-storing all game source and play state information within org-mode
-documents (spoiler: it's about freedom), then go into some detail
-around the "ETL" process design that currently accomplishes this.
-Finally, we'll look closely at one especially problematic macro deep
-within this solution, and invite people to throw fruit^11^dhelp draw
-conclusions, ask questions, and discuss.
+Efforts have been exerted to mitigate the trouble of producing new
+special blocks.  However, the issue of passing parameters is still
+handled in a clumsy fashion; e.g., by having parameters be expressed
+in a special block's content using specific keywords.
+
+We present a novel approach to making special blocks in a familiar
+fashion and their use also in a familiar fashion. We achieve the
+former by presenting ``defblock'', an anaphoric macro exceedingly
+similar to ``defun'', and for the latter we mimic the usual
+``src''-block syntax for argument passing to support special blocks.
+
+For instance, here is a sample declaration.
+
+#+begin_example
+(defblock stutter () (reps 2)
+  "Output the CONTENTS of the block REPS many times"
+  (org-parse (s-repeat reps contents)))

+

+defaults to 2 when not given.

+
+Upon export, to HTML or LaTeX for instance, the contents of this block
+are repeated (`stuttered') 5 times.  The use of ``src''-like
+invocation may lead to a decrease in `#+ATTR' clauses.
+
+In the presentation, we aim to show a few `practical' special blocks
+that users may want: A block that ...
+  - translates /some selected/ text ---useful for multilingual blogs
+  - hides /some selected/ text ---useful for learning, quizzes
+  - folds/boxes text ---useful in blogs for folding away details
+In particular, all of these examples will be around ~5 lines long!
+
+We also have a larger collection of more useful block types, already
+implemented.
+
+The notable features of the system are as follows.
+  + Familiar ``defun'' syntax for making block ---``defblock''
+  + Familiar ``src'' syntax for passing arguments ---e.g., ``:key
+    value''
+  + Fine-grained control over export translation phases ---c.f.,

+    quickly using ``blockcall'' ---similar to Lisp's ``funcall''.  We
+    will show how to fuse two blocks to make a new one, also within ~5

+of this talk.  It could be a good way to explore the question of how
+new people discover Emacs, get motivated to try Emacs, and get through
+the roadblocks, keeping in mind that it's from personal experience.

+Could Emacs be humanity's solution to the turbulent years of
+adolescence?  So much more than a text editor, Emacs changed the way I
+approach everything at the age of 15.  In the two years since
+discovering Emacs in my sophomore year of high school, I have been
+constantly amazed at what Emacs is capable of.  In this talk, I would
+like to share this journey of discovery and what I've learned along
+the way, beginning with what led me to Emacs.  I will describe the
+many ways that Emacs has shaped my life as a student, a programmer, a
+violinist, and a productive and happy adolescent.  In each case, I
+have thoroughly enjoyed figuring out the best way to make Emacs work
+for me, and I'd like to share this with others.  In addition, I'd like
+to take this opportunity to address some roadblocks that I have
+noticed having observed some of my peers' attempts at learning Emacs
+and possible solutions for those barriers, taking inspiration from
+various sources both from inside and outside the Emacs community.

+ their Emacs configuration feel like they can understand the next
