Hi all,
I have a module with a envrionment defined in the following way:
\def\startFOO#1\stopFOO{...#1...}
I try currently to write a command \defineFOO[MYFOO] that expands to my
already created environment.
\startMYFOO#1\stopMYFOO -> \startFOO#1\stopFOO
I know it is possible to make this in the following way:
\def\startMYFOO#1\stopMYFOO{\startFOO#1\stopFOO}
but this not what I want.
Wolfgang

If you want to write to a buffer and later use it, there are low level macros to define your own buffer commands. Have a look at the R module to see an example. Depending on your usage, you will have to keep track of the buffer numbers on your own. Aditya ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

It's not a real problem but I wanted to know if it is possible to define a environment in the way I wanted. Wolfgang ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

What I want is a command like this: \def\defineFOO[#1]% {\expandafter\def\csname start#1\endcsname##1\csname stop#1\endcsname% {\startFOO##1\stopFOO}} and after I wrote \defineFOO[MYFOO] I can use the next command \startMYFOO...\stopMYFOO Wolfgang [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 4434 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 139 bytes --] _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
