Is there a way for a macro to check the previous value of #1, the last time that same macro was called?
To check is the current value differs from the last one you need a temp macro where you store the current value at the end of your command to check it in the next call.
Would it make more sense, or would it be “cleaner” to use a variable?
You can get rid of the temp variable before the command definition but now you have to access it with a different method in \mymacro, below is one way (LMTX only) but \setvariable and \getvariable work as well. \define[1]\mymacro {\iftok{#1}{\getvalue{previousmymacro}}% same as last time \else it is different from last time \fi \setvalue{previousmymacro}{#1}} Wolfgang
