Preprocessing Latex: What is your workflow? Your tools? @DavidCarlisle Oh whoa! I'm a very average tex user. I've an interest in preprocessing technics people use, but I can't come with as good an example as you mentioned. |

Preprocessing Latex: What is your workflow? Your tools? @DavidCarlisle It was not easy to write this question. I tried to catch the main points of a preprocessing session. It's true that my epsilon example is not so good. |

Is there a \newcommand manager program? @egreg Yes, it looks like a contracdiction. I mean I know what \axnzn means, but I always forget if I already defined or not \aynzn. Also, checking this is tedious. I guess clarity is a subjective matter. Still, our discussion effortlessly use \aznyn without ambiguity. |

Is there a \newcommand manager program? @BenediktBauer I understand your point, I was afraid of this side effect, when I begin using this method. But, after using it for while, I found my latex code is expressive. Somehow, the exact definition of the command doesn't matter. When I write on sequence I know what I mean by \xn, so if I want to talk about convergence of \xn - \zn, the meaning guide me in the \newcommand maze. As for clarity, define \axnzn as \left| x_n - z_n \right|. Then, a phrase like "If \axnzn is small then \axnyn is small" (note the yn), is really clear. |

Flexible parenthesing command @jfbu Your post help a lot to understand tex programming. I understand that the code has limitation, but this is also a lesson your post teach. Thank you. |

Flexible parenthesing command @egreg Maybe this deserves another question. Why are latex parsing rules so different than programming language parsing rules? Is it for compilation speed? In a python world say, \p(f(2)) would be \left( f(2) \right). |

Flexible parenthesing command If you can add the "middle thing", it would help. I try to compare with egreg's code. But as I am new to this stuff it's hard. |

Flexible parenthesing command @Mico Yes, I might do \p[f(2)] |

Bibliography style: author format I try your suggestion, but I get natbib error: bibliography not compatible with author-year citations. Should the author name be written in a certain format? |
