Hi Aditya,
the macro eats the endline char.
That would mean that tex will parse
=============
\section why \unknown
test
=============
as
===============
\section why \unknown test
================
but it does not. What I dislike is the fact that TeX gives an error message.

Hi Aditya,
the problem lies in the definition of \dowithpargument. The current
defintion is:
\def\dowithpargument#1%
 {\def\nextpar##1 \par{#1{##1}}%
  \def\nextarg##1{#1{##1}}%
  \doifnextcharelse\bgroup\nextarg{\doifnextcharelse\par{#1{}}\nextpar}}
The problem is the space after ##1 in the \nexpar defintion, it should be:
\def\dowithpargument#1%
 {\def\nextpar##1\par{#1{##1}}%
  \def\nextarg##1{#1{##1}}%
  \doifnextcharelse\bgroup\nextarg{\doifnextcharelse\par{#1{}}\nextpar}}
and everything works fine.
Ah, thanks.

Aditya
