Text Formatting ⇒ Clipboard Package And Gdef N Argument Conflict

[kurttodoroff]

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."

Source Document Code:

Code: Select all

\Copy{Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}{
\gdef\PreamblePermissibleOperationsHowToBeAssuredOfHavingLatestData#1{
\section*{PERMISSIBLE OPERATIONS}
The {#1} takes a positive approach.  Lorem ipsum.

\section*{HOW TO BE ASSURED OF HAVING LATEST DATA}
Refer to the {#1} Flyleaf.  Also, check the {#1} title page, and, all status pages contained in the {#1}.  Lorem ipsum
}
}
\PreamblePermissibleOperationsHowToBeAssuredOfHavingLatestData{\fltmanLUC}

Destination Document Code:

Code: Select all

\Paste{Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}
\PreamblePermissibleOperationsHowToBeAssuredOfHavingLatestData{\wpnsmanLUC}

When I compile the source document, LaTeX generates five error messages (each of which requires depressing the RETURN key to resume compilation), which correspond to the five occurrences of "#1". However, the source PDF does display my desired content, correctly. If I remove each occurrence of "#1", LaTeX produces one less error message for each removal.

The same five error messages are:

./DocumentName.tex:9106: Illegal parameter number in definition of
\clipboard@Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data.
<to be read again>
1
l.9106 }

When I compile the destination document, LaTeX generates no error messages. The destination PDF displays my desired content, correctly.

How can I include the characters "#1" within the \Copy command, such that Clipboard will acknowledge them properly, rather than consider them to be illegal parameters?

Thank you for any and all assistance.

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

Source Document Code:

Code: Select all

\gdef\ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan{\fltmanLUC}
\Copy{Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}{
\section*{PERMISSIBLE OPERATIONS}
The \ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan\ takes a positive approach.  Lorem ipsum.

\section*{HOW TO BE ASSURED OF HAVING LATEST DATA}
Refer to the \ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan\ Flyleaf.  Also, check the \ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan\ title page, and, all status pages contained in the \ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan.  Lorem ipsum
}
\Paste{Flight-Manual-Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}

Destination Document Code:

Code: Select all

\gdef\ClipboardFltManOrWpnsMan{\wpnsmanLUC}
\Paste{Flight-Manual-Preamble-permissible-operations-how-to-be-assured-of-having-latest-data}

This solved the problem.
