Hello,
In the l2h manual there is an example of using conditional text.
--------------------------snip------------------ \newcommand{\A}{The letter A.} \newcommand{\B}{The letter B.}
\begin{latexonly} \renewcommand{\A}{Not the letter A.} \end{latexonly} %begin{latexonly} \renewcommand{\B}{Not the letter B.} %end{latexonly}
\begin{document} \A \B \end{document}
If you process this with LATEX , the result is: The letter A. Not the letter B.
-------------------end snip------------------------
I don't understand why "\renewcommand{\A}{Not the letter A.}" does not get processed by latex. I expected the result
It *does* get processed. But it is limited to the scope of the {latexonly} environment.
to be: "Not The letter A. Not the letter B." and NOT "The letter A. Not the letter B."
What am I missing or is the \begin{latexonly} command somehow counter intuitive?
Compare the above with:
\newcommand{\A}{The letter A.}
\newcommand{\B}{The letter B.}\begin{document}
\begin{latexonly}
\renewcommand{\A}{Not the letter A.}
\A \B
\end{latexonly}
%begin{latexonly}
\renewcommand{\B}{Not the letter B.}
%end{latexonly}
\A \B
\end{document}Hope this helps,
Ross
