Making a macro long -- after the fact

I would like to be able to change a non-\long macro into a \long macro. Here is a toy example of what I am looking to do:

\def\xxx#1{{\em #1}}
\makeitlong\xxx
\xxx{This is a test\par in two paragraphs.}

(What's missing, of course, is a "\makeitlong" command.)

If you're curious, my actual ...

"partially enabled" write18 not working?

I'm running MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows XP. I want one LaTeX document, when compiled, to cause another to be compiled.

For a minimal non-working example, here is the first document, called mwe1.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\immediate\write18{latex mwe2.tex}
This is document 1.
\end ...

Hook for end of a Beamer frame

I'm writing a package to work with Beamer. Is there a hook I can use to run code automatically at the end of every frame? Ideally, I'd like something like an "\AtEndFrame" command that would work analogously to the \AtEndDocument command.

(My code uses TikZ with overlays to draw automatically ...

Re: opacity in TikZ with animate package

Thank you very much! I'm glad I was able to help you find a bug in pdftex, and I'm very pleased you were able to alter the animate package to resolve the issue. This will help tremendously with some classroom demonstrations I am writing.

Sincerely,
Anders Hendrickson

opacity in TikZ with animate package

I am creating an animation of TikZ graphics using the animate package, taking

as a model. It is working fine, except that when I try to use opacity commands in TikZ within the animateinline environment, the entire TikZ ...

Re: Uncovering images in Beamer

Thank you very much! I used your suggestion, along with the node options [outer sep=0pt,inner sep=0pt] to eliminate extra padding, and my beamer presentation looked great. Thanks again!

Uncovering images in Beamer

In a Beamer presentation, I want to use the transparency effects of \uncover to keep some items onscreen but direct attention away from them. Unfortunately some of the items are images. The Beamer manual says "The transparency effect will automatically apply to all colors, except for the colors in ...
