From macros to elisp programming?

[Ypo]

Hi

I am able to make macros, but I think I am far away from Lisp programming.

Is there a path to go from macros to elisp programming? For example, the last macro I've made is for transforming the name of some headlines, adding in front of them a part from the previous headline. This is the elisp code of the macro:

#+BEGIN_SRC
(fset 'SanzTema5
   (kmacro-lambda-form [?\C-a ?\M-f ?\M-b ?\C-  ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-f ?\M-w ?\C-c ?\C-n ?\C-a ?\M-f ?\M-b ?\C-y ?  ?- ?  ?\C-e ?\M-b ?\M-f ?\"] 0 "%d"))
#+END_SRC

Using that code, from these headlines:

*** Sanz Aparicio et al. (2019) "5 Los Motivos Adquiridos, Menéndez Balaña" (pp. 95-118)
**** INTRODUCCIÓN

I get modified the second headline:

*** Sanz Aparicio et al. (2019) "5 Los Motivos Adquiridos, Menéndez Balaña" (pp. 95-118)
**** Sanz Aparicio et al. (2019) "5 Los Motivos Adquiridos - INTRODUCCIÓN"

Are macros near to elisp programming or they are two different worlds?
