has asciidoc preprocessor macros

Question

Hey exist in asciidoc a way to create preprocessor macros?

The macros in asciidoc allow me generate custom commands for the different output formats. My goal is the creation of valid asciidoc.

for example:

preprocessormacro: #define pair() %1 and %2

use: i think pair("a", "b") are the same

result: i think a and b are the same

I hope you get the idea. Attributes, specialwords and replacements don't fulfill this requirement. Or am i wrong?

Thanks for any kind of help.

What you are looking for is Jamal.

Jamal is a macro processor, which I created and it is also embedded as an asciidoc preprocessor.

I created Jamal for the very purpose you are looking for.
