wrap LaTeX command in environment

Question

How can I wrap a LaTeX command in an environment? In essence, how can I turn \\somecommand{contents} into \\begin{somecommand} contents \\end{somecommand}? I have tried the obvi

Answer 1

New environment somecommand defines the macro \somecommand. You can not use macro with the same name \somecommand inside.

Moreover you should write

\newenvironment{name}{openning command}{closing commands}

rather than

\newenvironment{somecommand}[0]{ \somecommand{ } { } }

You obviously have a problem with closing commands.
