Is there a possibility to design a \newcommand for the if-structure?

I want to shorten the

\ifdefined\todo text \fi

into something where I simply need to write \todo text

without the \fi.

you need something to end the text the normal document form would not use ifdefined but simply \todo{text} which you can define with newcomnand – David Carlisle Oct 17 '22 at 06:24

\newcommand\todo[1]{#1} then \todo{foo}. And if you don't want text to appear in later versions you could use \newcommand\todo[1]{} instead. – Skillmon Oct 17 '22 at 07:39
Welcome! Have you checked the comment or todo packages? – Rmano Oct 17 '22 at 07:43
How's TeX supposed to know where the text you want to feed \todo with will end? – egreg Oct 17 '22 at 08:25
See also macros - \def taking rest of the line as argument - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange but depends on what you need... – user202729 Oct 17 '22 at 08:55
