General ⇒ backslash

[manojg]

Hello,

I got a working latex code (got from somebody) which has this syntax:

Code: Select all

newcommand* \{\ABC} \{ABCDEFG}

As I understood, the backslash removes the white space. But I am getting error due to the two backslashes outside {}.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

A backslash doesn't remove whitspace. It's used at the beginning of control sequences, such as commands.

A correct syntax would be:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*{\ABC}{ABCDEFG}
