Bug Description

In LaTeX (and TeX), any macro that starts with \end is potentially dangerous or reserved, because:

  • \end{...} is a core LaTeX primitive for ending environments.
  • When you define something like \endorsementpage, TeX may confuse it during parsing or try to match it as part of an environment end sequence.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to define new macros naming start with 'end':

\newcommand{\endorsementpage}{...}
\newcommand{\endorsementsadfdasf}{...}

Expected Behavior

The \endorsementpage or \endorsement should be fine

Actual Behavior

The compiling error when using \end... prefix macros naming

Error Logs

Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.104 ...ttersection{#1}{Pengesahan}{endorsement}}
                                                  
Your command was ignored.
Type  I <command> <return>  to replace it with another command,
or  <return>  to continue without it.

I think elegant way to solve is use an @ in the name (internal macro):

% thesis.cls
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\endorsement@page}{\input{frontmatter/endorsement}}
\newcommand{\endorsementpage}{\endorsement@page}
\makeatother

Then:

\newcommand{\endorsementPage}{\input{frontmatter/endorsement}}

Turns out that using at (@) still gives same error. Proceed to add prefix 'the'
