Hi, Stefan.

I am embarrassed. I erred.

This document contains two charts. The tabular environment created both charts. Both of them used spreadtab and \STautoround*{2}.

The first chart numbers produced no decimal values. The second chart numbers produced decimal values.

When LaTeX produced the ...

Hi, Stefan.

Try this.

\begin{center}
% \STautoround*{2}
\begin{spreadtab}[autoround=2]{{tabular}{|lrcr|}}
\hline
@\multicolumn{1}{|c}{\textbf{\textsc{Article}}} &
@\multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{\textsc{Article Cost}}} &
@\multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{\textsc{Quantity}}} &
@\multicolumn{1}{c ...

I opened a document, after last editing it eleven years ago.

The LaTeX compile generated an error. I discovered that the Spreadtab package no longer supported STautoround.

I substituted the autoround key, as described in the documentation. They output does not display the decimal digits. Spreadtab ...

The Clipboard package developer, Eduardo Louren ̧co de Lima, suggested a different solution. I simplified it.

Source Document Code:
\gdef\ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan{\fltmanLUC}
\Copy{Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}{
\section*{PERMISSIBLE OPERATIONS}
The ...

I use Eduardo Louren ̧co de Lima’s excellent Clipboard package in several documents.

In one recent usage, I embedded a \gdef command within the \Copy command. The \gdef command includes the n argument "#1."

Hi, Stefan.

Thank you for the elegant solution.

I have created a few dozen macros, three of which I show here, for example.

\newcommand{\alphaactual}{$\alpha_\text{actual}$\index{a@$\alpha_\text{actual}$ (Actual Zero Sight Line Angle-Of-Attack)}}
\newcommand{\alphai}{$\alpha_\text{i}$\index{a@$\alpha_\text{i}$ (Zero Sight Line Angle-Of-Attack ...

I want LaTeX to write the document \gdef{} commands and corresponding replacement text (or, its equivalent package command data) to an external file, similar to how it writes \label{} data to the auxiliary file.

This would allow me to use the \gdef{} definition in a document location that occurs ...

Bartman and MjK,

I replaced your original code with your modified code. It is producing unexpected results.

I will share a preface to my observations.

My document contains seven chapters and an appendix which contains eight chapters. I used your original code, and, I compiled my document seven ...

MjK,

Thank you for your response.

I didn't understand it, until after I discovered that Appendix C in my document displayed the striped edges. This is likely due to my error, which I mentioned in my subsequent posting.

I reviewed the the three websites, which you recommended. I didn't find the ...
