General ⇒ Selective commenting out

[Juanjo]

Perhaps by pressing down ALT or CTRL keys you may access a wider range of symbols. Anyway, I suggested to write inline comments between \ and  or \ZZ and ZZ to save keystrokes and keep it simple. Let's add one more keystroke. Try

Code: Select all

\NewDocumentCommand\ZZ{+u{\ZZ}}{\ignorespaces}

and write

Code: Select all

It is quite easy now \ZZ thanks to the help of LaTeX Community \ZZ to introduce...

In fact, you can replace the first \ZZ by any macro name you like (say, \Z, \Y, \Com,...) and the second \ZZ by any token sequence you like (which can be the macro name itself, or start or not with \). For example, this works:

Code: Select all

\NewDocumentCommand\Inline{+u{Comment}}{\ignorespaces}
................................
It is quite easy now \Inline thanks to the help of LaTeX Community Comment to introduce

and this too

Code: Select all

\NewDocumentCommand\Inline{+u{\Comment}}{\ignorespaces}
................................
It is quite easy now \Inline thanks to the help of LaTeX Community \Comment to introduce

The only thing you can't write inside the inline comment is the token sequence that closes it. Choose your own macro name and token sequence. If this approach doesn't work for you, then you may stick to the \comment macro.
