does a program exist which will take the user defined macros and produce
a Tex or Latex document with those macros expanded out in the text? For
the simplest of macros one could obviously just do a Searcha and
Replace, but for more complex, argument dependent macros that just does
not work. However, such a program would allow one to use ones own
macros, and then ship off a file ( eg to publishers, etc) which are in
plain Tex/ Latex format. It should not expand all macros ( bare Tex is of
course awfull) but only those macros specified by the user- eg all of
those in the file itself, and those in specified external macro
packages.
Pls email me as well as posting in this group since I don't read this
group often.
Thanks
