" File ended while scanning use of \next..." causes by the use of a multilines newcommand

Question

Error while using the new command \reponse created in the preambule.

What is wrong with the definition of the newcommand ? It must be linked with comment package ...

Example that works seems the same : How to use `\begin` & `\end` in a new command

Thanks for help.

Error : File ended while scanning use of \next \end{answer} while using the commande \reponse

Answer 1

Like @egreg said, you can not use comment environment as arguments. The difficulty comes from a special condition given in the package documentation: The opening and closing commands should appear on a line of their own. No starting spaces, nothing after it.

But here is what I can suggest (The trick comes from section 2 Usage of the comment documentation):

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{comment}
\usepackage{babel}
\includecomment{answer}
\makeatletter 
\newcommand{\reponse}[1]{\@bsphack\@esphack}
\makeatother 
\begin{answer}
\renewcommand{\reponse}[1]{\textbf{The answer is :}#1}
\end{answer}


\begin{document}
% i would like to write :
\reponse{ok}
\reponse{ok}
% ...
% instead of :
\begin{answer}
{\textbf{The answer is:} ok}
\end{answer}

\begin{answer}
{\textbf{The answer is:} ok}
\end{answer}
%...
\end{document}

EDIT Taking into account UlrichDiez's comment.
