change fpheader

[Ruth Lazkoz]

Hi,

I am using a style file  which defines

\gdef\@fpheader{Prepared for submission to JHEP}

and I want to switch off that command without touching the style file.

I mean I would like to put in the manuscript that calls that file some command to make latex thing the definition was something like \gdef\@fpheader{~}.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards,

Ruth

If you're talking about the JHEP style file located at

  http://jhep.sissa.it/jhep/help/JHEP/TeXclass/DOCS/jheppub.sty

this is possible. The following _should_ work:

    \documentclass{article}

    %...

    \usepackage{jheppub}% http://jhep.sissa.it/jhep/help/JHEP/TeXclass/DOCS/jheppub.sty

    \usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox

    \makeatletter

    \patchcmd{\maketitle}{\@fpheader}{}{}{}

\makeatother

%...

\begin{document}

%...

\end{document}

This correction uses the etoolbox package to correct for the use of \@fpheader within the \maketitle command. It replaces it with {} (nothing).

Just redefine the command to an empty group. But you need to turn the @ into a letter temporarily, because an @ sign isn't allowed in a command name in normal documents, only in packages and classes. There are two commands to do that:

\makeatletter
\def\@fpheader{\relax}
\makeatother

I tend to define nullified commands like this as \relax, just in case some other command I don't know about is expecting there to be a value rather than nothing at all.
