Copy the content of an environment
6
I would like to copy the content of an environment so that I can use it somewhere else. My main purpose is to print it inside a tooltip note.
My idea was to use the environ package:
NewEnviron{foo}
{
xdefbidule{BODY}
%more stuff
}
But when I use bidule I get an error:
Undefined control sequence ....
leading text: end{foo}
Undefined control sequence endgroup.
leading text: end{foo}
Missing { inserted.
leading text: bidule
main.tex:19: File ended while scanning text of errhelp.
If my understanding is correct, I cannot use def because BODY won't be defined when I will use foo. Is there a way to achieve my goal?

You could also use an lrbox, assuming all you want to do is print it.

You don't want to do a full expansion of BODY, but just one level:
expandaftergdefexpandafterbiduleexpandafter{BODY}
or
xdefbidule{unexpandedexpandafter{BODY}}

No, I made a mistake. However, I don't really understand why I want only one level of expansion. Thanks for you answer ;) .
