Do I have to activate something to allow Org-mode 9 to process macros? An org-file with the following content gives me an error on export:

#+MACRO CANVAS @@html:<div align=center><canvas id="$1"></canvas></div>@@
{{{CANVAS(thename)}}}

Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction?!

Error message:

cond: Undefined Org macro: canvas; aborting

    But you or mutbuerger should add the solution to the question and you should accept it. It's more visible that way instead of the comment

In-buffer settings start with ‘#+’, followed by a keyword, a colon, and then a word for each setting.

(info "(org) In-buffer settings")

Your macro definition lacks the colon: #+MACRO:.
