289. \def is a TeX primitive, \newcommand is a LaTeX overlay on top of \def. The most obvious benefits of \newcommand over \def are: \newcommand checks whether or not the command already exists. \newcommand allows you to define an optional argument. In general, anything that \newcommand does can be done by \def, but it usually involves a little ...
Jan 8, 2013 · big step/.initial=5, color/.initial=red, Then I define the new command \mygrid with an empty optional parameter. The first lines of this command (the call to \mygridset) changes the values of the keys via #1 then store the value of each key in a macro. The last lines draw the grid with these values. \mygridset{#1,
I'd like to create a new command \add that accepts 2 arguments, called entity and title. In other words, the command should look like this: \add{entity}{title}. The output should have the following form: \textit{entity} '{title}'. So if I, for example, type \add{article}{LaTeX} the result should be article 'LaTeX'. How can I do this? Maybe this ...
Mar 9, 2012 · The LaTeX kernel from the 2020-10-01 release has \NewCommandCopy that does the same job of \LetLtxMacro and better. It also provides \ShowCommand to obtain the internal definition also of robust commands. So the code below should now be. \NewCommandCopy{\oldemph}{\emph} \renewcommand{\emph}[1]{\textbf{\oldemph{#1}}}
This makes \foo a one-argument command that has regular and starred versions. The starred version is the expansion of \@foo while the nonstarred version is that of \@@foo. Using the @ sign in the auxiliary macros is a TeX convention which some authors embrace and some avoid.
The algorithmicx package defines two commands \Require and \Ensure for providing initial conditions. However, I'd like some custom commands such as \Assume, \Define, \Input, etc. At present, I merely rename the above two commands to something I want, like: \algrenewcommand\algorithmicrequire{\textbf{Input}} However, this is not really a good ...
Sep 16, 2021 · This way, you can refer to \mycolor whenever a color is called for, and it will take on the current value of thisismycolor. The key here to understanding is that the color that is defined is thisismycolor. The term \mycolor is not, itself, a color, but merely a macro that gets replaced with a color name. \documentclass{article}
Jul 11, 2011 · There is no need to pass the argument around. Also \textcolor simply calls \color internally, so \newcommand\red[1]{{\color{red}#1}} would be more efficient. However I would go with \newcommand*\red{\color{red}}, then you can write {\red text} instead of \ref{text} and also use \red to switch to red for the rest of the group. @MartinScharrer ...
If you want commands with at most one optional argument, LaTeX's built in \newcommand and \renewcommand are an easy way to define them. The syntax is. \(re)newcommand \name [ number of arguments ][ default value for the first argument ]{ code ] If you specify the second optional argument, then the first argument to \name will be optional.
Nov 29, 2015 · The syntax should look like this. In a \newcommand declaration, you use [1] to indicate a mandatory argument, [2] to indicate two arguments, and so on, and then refer to them as #1 and #2 in the command text. \newcommand is often better than \def, as it will issue a warning if the command is already defined; if you know it's defined and want to ...
