What might be a good way to use and process macro's in Markdown. The docs 
have an example of variable-substitution, but not of more general macro's.

A macro might look something like     
*  ... ordinary markdown ...*

*  <<* name args >> *

*    ...body... *
*  <</ name >>*

*  ... ordinary markdown ...*

where:

   - the name is an identifier
   - each arg is an identifier, number or string in quotes
   - the body is arbitrary text
   - Obviously, the parentheses <<*, <</ and >> could be anything that the 
   parser could recognise
   
Ideally, processing can be done in Lua, and the result of the macro is to 
be processed further, to generate Markdown, LaTeX, HTML or other languages.

Any thoughts?
