Hi, There is interference with the \bTR macro. It works fine with all TABLE commands removed. The table macros like \bTR and \bTD themselves use \dodoubleempty. Greetings, Taco Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Hello again!

Today I'm trying a lot of new (to me) things... This time, a macro with optional arguments and \if...argument :

\def\SkillField{\dodoubleempty\doSkillField}

\def\doSkillField[#1][#2]#3{\bTR\bTD #3 \iffirstargument\hfill (#1)\fi % don't print when no optional argument \eTD \bTD \ifsecondargument % if second optional arg is provided \definefield[#2][line][Skill][#1]\field[#2] \else % if no second optional arg \definefield[#3][line][Skill][#3]\field[#3] \fi \eTD\eTR}

e.g. \SkillField[+8][Aergern]{Ärgern} % works \SkillField[+1]{Labern} % does nothing instead of "else" \SkillField{Testen} % does "\hfill (#1)", but should do nothing

Apparently, the \if...argument ... \else don't work as they should. Where's my mistake?
