Subject: \def vs \define
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:15:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DC046BAB-7A2F-4D88-9AD1-7595E8ED50A8@st.estfiles.de> (raw)
Hi,
in this example the question mark nicely becomes part of the command name:
\def\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points}
\OverFull?
here it does not work at all:
\define\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points}
\OverFull?
(... but gives "??" instead)
As "\define" seems to be more canonical:
Does this result mean it is not recommended to use question marks in command names?
Steffen
