latex newcommand in org

latex newcommand in org

[Doyley, Marvin M.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 529 bytes --]

Hi there,

In my group, we typically response to reviewers comments (in latex) by first defining the  following command in the header

\newcommand{\response}[1]{\textcolor{red}{#1}}
then marking up the text as follows

\response{red text}

I try to do the same in org,  i.e., putting
 #+latex_header:\newcommand{\response}[1]{\textcolor{red}{#1}}
then \response{BLAH BLAH} in the text. The only snag is that on export I get \response\{BLAH BLAH\}

Any suggestion how to fix this

cheers,
M

Easiest solution is @@latex:\response{blah blah}@@ but that will lose you
all the org formatting.  Longer solution is to use environments, such as

#+begin_response
blah blah blah
#+end_response

and define a "response" LaTeX environment, along these lines:

#+latex_header: \makeatletter\newenvironment{response}{\textcolor{red}}{}\makeatother

(untested)

Notice also that commands and environments in LaTeX are not
interchangeable; there are things only commands can do and things only
environments can do.  (Well, not really - technically, I guess,
environments are strictly more powerful than commands, though I'm not
100% sure - but some things are quite difficult to do with environments
and trivial with commands.)

Thanks,

I will give Eric’s suggestion a go.

You can use also macros in combination with latex \newcommand:

Following there's a sample with html:

#+MACRO: color @@html:<span style="color: $1">$2</span>@@
# macro sample: {{{color(red, aceitação)}}}


Note: untested with latex newcommand....1

Eric’s suggestion works like a charm with the following modification
#+latex_header:\newenvironment{response}{\color{red}}{\ignorespacesafterend}

Thanks I really appreciate the help.

Excellent and the modification makes sense for your use case.

You might also want to say

\newenvironment{response}{\unskip\color{red}\ignorespaces}{\unskip\ignorespacesafterend}

(not tested).
