Renewcommand with ensuremath and brackets












0















I'm making an .sty file (which is called my-macros.sty and is in my home /texmf directory) where I define some commands that I constantly use. Among these commands, there are the following



newcommand{apol}{}
newcommand{DEFapol}[2][X,Y]{renewcommand{apol}[1][#1]%
{ensuremath{#2[##1]}}}
newcommand{fq}[1][q]{ensuremath{mathbb{F}_{#1}}}


The apol command is to give a polynomial ring over a field. But once I change variables (from X to X,Y to X,Y,Z) and the field (from K to the rational numbers to a finite field) over and over throughout the text, I used DEFapol to define the variables (first argument of DEFapol) and the field (second argument). Note that the finite field with q elements is given by the other command fq. Note also that I want X,Y to be the default variables for my polynomial ring.



When I test these commands in the following MWE



documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,amsthm}
usepackage{my-macros}

begin{document}

DEFapol[X]{K}

$apol$

DEFapol{K}

$apol$

DEFapol[X,Y,Z]{fq}

$apol$

end{document}


the first two $apol$ expressions are what I want them to be, but the last is not: the fq command is taking [X,Y,Z] as its argument so the result is the following expression $mathbb{F}_{[X,Y,Z]}$. But what I really wanted was it to be $mathbb{F}_q[X,Y,Z]$. One solution for this would be to simply type



DEFapol[X,Y,Z]{fq[q]}


So my question is: is there another way to handle the brackets inside the definitions of my commands such that when I type



DEF[X,Y,Z]{fq}


I get the desired result, i.e., such that fq ignores [X,Y,Z] as its argument?
