Is it okay for a command to slurp more arguments than it is passed to? What are the disadvantages of doing this? Does this break etoolbox patching for example? |

Macro that knows it is at the end of a section? Ah, I think I understand. Thank you very much! |

Macro that knows it is at the end of a section? Thanks for the update! It seems to me that eTeX marks would be easier than labels for detecting when a section starts at the top of a new page. For example, put \marks1{starts at top of page} before the break, \marks1{starts in middle of page} after the break, and look at \botmarks1 in \afterpage. Do I misunderstand how marks and labels work? (Sorry for all of these questions, I'm still very new to all of this.) |

Macro that knows it is at the end of a section? By "adding labels before and after the breakpoint added by the heading", do you mean add \label before and after \addpenalty\@secpenalty\addvspace\@tempskipa in the definition of \@startsection (e.g., by using \pretocmd on both \@startsection and \@xsect)? |

Declare acronyms and abbreviations to automatically correct spaces after periods? @barbarabeeton: There are two ways to make the space after a period behave like a normal inter-word space: foo.\@ bar or foo.\ bar. I was hoping there was a way to automatically add \@ after declared acronyms (like RAM) and abbreviations (like etc.) but with a way to manually cancel it when I want the normal TeX behavior (e.g., when an acronym ends a sentence). From egreg's response, it doesn't sound like this is possible. |

Declare acronyms and abbreviations to automatically correct spaces after periods? Thanks! Too bad it can't be automatically done. I'm just as likely to remember to type \abbr{} or \acro{} as I am to type \@. :) |

Declare acronyms and abbreviations to automatically correct spaces after periods? Shouldn't \newcommand{\@abbr}[1]{#1\@.} be \newcommand{\@abbr}[1]{#1.\@}? |

Declare acronyms and abbreviations to automatically correct spaces after periods? @ArTourter: True. In that case, I'd add an \@ to force it to be interpreted as a sentence-ending period. For example: I like citrus flavors: orange, lemon, lime, etc\@. They are tasty. I rarely end sentences with an abbreviation, so inverting the default behavior of periods after abbreviations would fix more than it would break. |
