How to define a macro with multiple optional parameters?
0
After I had a macro that worked, I tried to improve it by making some parameters optional.
Unfortunately the macro no longer works. Instead I'm getting errors I do not understand, for example:
LaTeX Warning: Label `{}####5' multiply defined.
! Illegal parameter number in definition of fLab.
The last code I tried looked like this:
%% Graphics figure with caption and label
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name[, 4:caption[, 5:label]]
newcommand{figCapLab}[5][htbp]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#5}{}}%
{renewcommand{fLab}{}}%
{renewcommand{fLab}{label{##5}}}%
ifthenelse{equal{#4}{}}%
{renewcommand{fCap}{fLab}}%
{renewcommand{fCap}{caption{fLab{small{}##4}}}}%
begin{figure}[#1]%
centering%
begin{minipage}[t]{#2textwidth}%
includegraphics[width=textwidth]{#3}% is width of surrounding minipage
fCap%
end{minipage}%
end{figure}
}
%% Graphics figure with caption
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name, 4:caption
newcommand{figCap}[4]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%
{figCapLab{#2}{#3}{#4}{}}%
{figCapLab[#1]{#2}{#3}{#4}{}}%
}
%% Graphics figure with label
% [1:placement,] 2:relative width, 3:file name, 4:label
newcommand{figLab}[4]{%
ifthenelse{equal{#1}{}}%
{figCapLab{#2}{#3}{}{#4}}%
{figCapLab[#1]{#2}{#3}{}{#4}}%
}
Who can explain what went wrong?

Instead of identifying mistakes in your code without much context, can you provide information on what you want to achieve ultimately? Perhaps there are better ways of achieving it.
