I have two macros \define text() A line of text \end
\define foo(x) fooStart $x$ fooStop \end So <<text>> is replaced by "A line of text" and <<foo "abc">> is replaced by "Start abc fooStop" But <<foo <<text>> >> is replaced by "fooStart <<text fooStop >>" And NOT "fooStart A line of text fooStop" as I had expected. After a lot of head scratching I realised that this means that the argument (x) to foo is the string "<<text" ie the first occurrence of ">>" to the left of the start "<<" of the macro and not the second occurrence. ie. "<<" and ">>" do not properly nest as I had expected. This seems like a pretty big pothole for a beginner to fall into ... So what is the accepted idiom for using a macro result as the input argument to another macro - how does one chain macro calls together?
