Using newcommand to produce (simple) newcommands [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
How can I combine two text strings to represent the name of a command?
2 answers
I would like to have, say, two custom comment macro for every author.
For example suppose there are two authors Alice and Bob and they would like to have commands:
newcommand{acom}[1]{textcolor{green}{#1}}
newcommand{aissue}[1]{textcolor{red}{textbf{#1}}}
for Alice a maybe with different color scheme for Bob.
Of course, Alice can write these but it is a bit annoying.
Now, suppose Cecil joins our team. Ideally, I would like to have a command
registerAuthor{Cecil}{yellow}{purple}
since then it is easy to ask Cecil to add his command and everything goes smoothly (otherwise Alice has to do this every time; and imagine if we have 20 different macros).
Is there any possible workaround?

I'm not sure if you want something like this to track changes for every author in a collaborative work. Just a wild guess !

The trick is to use csname:
documentclass{article}
usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
newcommand{registerAuthor}[3]{%
expandafternewcommandcsname #1comendcsname[1]{textcolor{#2}{##1}}%
expandafternewcommandcsname #1issueendcsname[1]{textcolor{#3}{textbf{##1}}}%
}
registerAuthor{a}{green}{red}
registerAuthor{c}{yellow}{purple}
begin{document}
Alice comment: acom{something}
Alice issue: aissue{something}
Cecil comment: ccom{something}
Cecil issue: cissue{something}
end{document}
