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. + + (defblock stutter () (reps 2) + "Output the CONTENTS of the block REPS many times" + (org-parse (s-repeat reps contents))) + +Here is an invocation that passes an *optional* argument; which +defaults to 2 when not given. + +<div class="stutter"> +<p> +Emacs for the win ⌣̈ +</p> + +</div> + +Upon export, to HTML or LaTeX for instance, the contents of this block +are repeated (\`stuttered') 5 times.
