luaemptyenv - Empty Environments for LuaLaTeX

LuaLaTeX package for creating environments that discard all contained content.

Requirements: LuaLaTeX, xparse, eoldef.

Installation: Place luaemptyenv.sty and luaemptyenv.lua in LaTeX path or document folder.

Commands

• \emptyenvironment{name}[numarg][optarg_default]{begin_def}{end_def} - defines a new environment that ignores all content between \begin{envname} and \end{envname}

Usage

\usepackage{luaemptyenv}
\emptyenvironment{draft}{}{}

\begin{draft}
This content will be completely ignored.
Including \verb|verbatim|, $math$, and special characters: & % # _
\end{draft}

Notes:

1. The eoldef package (CTAN 2025-06-16) is required for proper handling of content on the same line as \begin{envname}.
2. Such environments can not be used inside command definitions (because \end{envname} will not appear in input buffer)
