<div dir="ltr"><span class="nfakPe"></span>Hi,<br><br>I'm having problems with usage of defined macros simply being<br>ignored by TeXlive (standard, full Ubuntu 8.04 installation).<br>These are macros with several parameters (see below) and were<br>
ported from Mac (Textures). I've minimized the problem and am<br>now at a loss why this simple macro use is being ignored:<br><br>\def\Thema#1\par#2\par#3\par{\vfill\supereject\nopagenumbers<br>\message{#1}% show the Thema title on the terminal<br>
\setbox\Themabox=\vtop{\offinterlineskip\hbox{\strut#1\unskip}<br> \hbox{\strut#2\unskip}<br> \hbox{\strut#3\unskip}}}<br><br>Though the \message is being shown during parsing of \Thema usage<br>with three arguments later on. See attachment of plain tex file<br>
and the PDF, which is missing "Title of publication here", and<br>"Firstname Lastname Date" at the top of the page.<br><br>As far as I could tell, all definitions conform with Knuth's TeXbook,<br>so I'd be very happy if someone could elaborate what's wrong here,<br>
or any pointers regarding where to start looking.<br><br>$ tex --version<br>
TeX 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)<br>
