question about macro's

question about macro's

[Jelle Huisman]

Hello,

I try to create a macro for processing a document tagged with some 
non-standard tags, like:

\TAGc The title of this chapter
\TAGs Here starts a new section with a lot of bla bla bla text. More bla 
bla. And yet another piece of bla bla.

To process the tags I have defined some macro's, like this one:

\def\TAGc#1
{\dosomething{#1} % the \dosomething has to do with fonts etc.
\dosomethingelse}

However, when I typeset the document this macro only works with the 
first word of the line tagged with \TAGc. Is it possible to tell the 
macro to process the whole line? (changing my source document is no option.)

Many thanks,

Jelle

Do you have a blank line between the two lines? If so, see below.

Have a look at \dowithpargument. Here is a snippet from one of my 
documents.

\def\TAGc{\dowithpargument\doTAGc}

\def\doTAGc#1%
   {Whatever you want with #1}

After this \TAGc ABC \par and \TAGc{ABC} both work. You can replace 
\par with an explicit empty line. So, if you have an empty line after 
each TAGc, the above will work.

Duh. I changed the snippet from my code, and forgot to edit the 
previous line.

Hello Aditya,

No, I don't have a blank line. (well, I can change my test file, but 
that is not the solution I am looking for.)

Thank you for this hint and your example. I see in the source browser 
that there is also an \dowithwargument, so I think I am looking for 
something like \dowithlargument (with l for line). Any idea's how to do 
that?
