Question !def

[wlemkows]

I am using pp to process md files. In my markdown I am using multiple !def one under another like that: !def{X}{Y}{Z} !def{A}{B}{C} ... ...

After pp processing this file, in place of line with !def I receive multiple empty lines. Is it intended? How to prevent that?

The end of line that follows a macro is not part of the macro and is kept in the output. To prevent this you can use:

• the quiet macro to discard empty lines (only one remains):

  !quiet \~~~~~ !def{X}{Y}{Z} !def{A}{B}{C} ... ... \~~~~~

• the import macro or -import command line option to load definitions from an other file. The command line option may be a better solution since no empty lines will be produced.

That exactly what I need, thanks .
