Removing commands from input to command
I'm trying to create my own command to highlight some changes. I want the command to update a counter, add a line in the contents table and do some changes in the text.
So far, I got:
DeclareRobustCommand{CoorAdd}[1]{%
refstepcounter{change}%
textcolor{blue}{#1}%
addcontentsline{tod}{subsection}{Correction arabic{change}. Added:
textcolor{blue}{substring{#1}{1}{20}}~% substring macro to cut the text to the first 20 characters
}
ignorespaces}
which works great as long as there is no commands in the input. If I write CoorAdd{ in figure Cref{fig.fig}}, it generates a bunch of errors such as:
Argument of @crefstar has an extra }. [...s.}}{1}{20}}nobreakspace {}}{10}{change.34}]
Paragraph ended before @crefstar was complete. [...s.}}{1}{20}}nobreakspace {}}{10}{change.34}]
Undefined control sequence. [...s.}}{1}{20}}nobreakspace {}}{10}{change.34}]
Undefined control sequence. [...s.}}{1}{20}}nobreakspace {}}{10}{change.34}]
Undefined control sequence. [...s.}}{1}{20}}nobreakspace
My question is: Is there a way to remove the commands from the input? Or maybe to de-command by removing the or similar. I don't mind to have some extra garbage text around.
Thanks in advance!
--- EDIT ---
I realised the problem is related to the command `substring', which does not accept commands in the input string. Anyway, I'm not using it anymore.
Therefore, I'm closing this question.
Thank all for your help and sorry for the bothering.

Also, you should add a minimal working example. What are the packages you've loaded? Presumablycleverefand whatever packages providesubstringandremoveabs. Thetextcolorcommands are probably unrelated to the problem -- have you tried removing them? What happens if you remove everything and just sayaddcontentsline{tod}{subsection}{#1}? Does it still break?

Hi @HoodChatham thank for your comment. You made me consider the problem was with substring as indeed when I remove it, the command works perfectly.

What does happen when you putprotectin front ofCref?I.e.,CoorAdd{ in figure protectCref{fig.fig}}
