The installation finished and everything seems to work fine. The only thing I noticed are some warnings in the output of the installer. Here is an excerpt…

How can I replace all occurrence of user defined latex macros with their definitions?
For example, given this file
old.tex
\newcommand{\blah}[2]{#1 \to #2}
...
foo \blah{egg}{spam} bar
...
how to generate the file below in an automatic way
new.tex
...
foo egg \to spam bar
...
Instead of reimplementing…

maybe is a noob question but i can't find the solution in the web, i need to write C++ in Latex.
I write C$++$ but the result is like crap, the signs are too big and there is too much space between C and the first plus sign.
Previously i needed to write the sharp symbol for C#....c$\sharp$ it also…

Is it possible to have a tex command which will take the whole next word (or the next letters up to but not including the next punctuation symbol) as an argument and not only the next letter or {} group?
I’d like to have a \caps command on certain acronyms but don’t want to type curly brackets over…

Is it possible to see the output of the tex ‘pre-processor’, i.?e. the intermediate step before the actual output is done but with all user-defined macros replaced and only a subset of tex primitives left?
Or is there no such intermediate step?

This is more of an algorithmic dilemma than a language-specific problem, but since I'm currently using Ruby I'll tag this as such. I've already spent over 20 hours on this and I would've never believed it if someone told me writing a LaTeX parser was a walk in the park in comparison.
