Environment hiding its content

Question

In the following code, I would like to build an environment that just hides its content, this content can use any standard LaTeX code like enumerated lists, tables...

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\newenvironment{forshort}{}{}


\begin{document}

Something in the whole course.


\begin{forshort}
    Just a summary...
\end{forshort}

\end{document}

Is there a ready-to-use package ?

I have tried tagging but this is only for "textual" contents : this not seems to work with the enumerate environment.

The package scontents could be hacked but the problem I've met is that I can't define an environment using \begin{scontents}[store-env = donotshow] ... \end{scontents}.

Answer 1

The latest version (1.8) of scontents has built-in \newenvsc command that covers this specific case:

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: clean: { extensions: [ aux, log] }
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{scontents}
\newenvsc{forshort}[store-env=forshort,print-env=false]
\begin{document}

Something in the whole course.

\begin{forshort}
    Just a summary...
\end{forshort}

\end{document}

Answer 2

There is a package for this:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage{comment}
%\includecomment{forshort}
\excludecomment{forshort}



\begin{document}

Something in the whole course.


\begin{forshort}
    Just a summary...
\end{forshort}

\end{document}
