General ⇒ Hiding a new environment

[jbruckman]

Assuming I've properly created a new environment, let's call it "fmeo" (for my eyes only), how would I create a command that would suppress this environment from showing up when running pdflatex?

The idea is that I'd like to be able to create the pdf file without the contents of fmeo if the command is present, and include them otherwise. I'd also accept a command that shows the environment when present, and hides them if the command isn't present. Either works.

Any help would be great.

Hi jbruckman,
I did the same thing using TeXnicCenter. And if I understand you correctly you could try the following:
Define a new Compiler Profile (Alt+F7) where you insert this in the end:
"\newcommand{\fmeo}{} \input{%Pm}"

Then inside your preamble you could do this:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{FMEO}
{
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\fmeo}}
{}
{
%Do what you want here
}
}
{}	

You'll be in need of the ifthen package (\usepackage{ifthen}).
Now if you create a similar compiler profile with this at the end:
"\input{%Pm}"
(notice the missing '\newcommand{\fmeo}{}'
it should do the trick.

I hope I could help you here.
Have fun

Thanks! That looks like precisely what I need. I'll have a chance to play with this more in a day or two, I'll let you know if it worked.
