The xparse
documentation gives examples of names of NewDocumentCommand
s enclosed in braces
, and without braces
, as demonstrated in the two commands below. Is there any difference in functionality whatsoever between the two? I never use braces and better be safe than sorry.

There is no difference, similar to the notation used with newcommand
and friends, as long as you pass it a control sequence. Technically you're passing an argument to newcommand
, which is then set using def
internally, so you should use <csname>
. However, if you don't use braces, the first token is grabbed.
Reassuring that there is no harm in not using braces, but formal correctness would dictate to use<csname>
.
