Is it easy to define a new command with several optional arguments, that one would call as follows :

\mycom[opt1=2,opt2=blabla]{some arg}

If you mean a keyval argument, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34312/how-to-create-a-command-with-key-values – Joseph Wright Jan 05 '12 at 12:38

You can also use the package keycommand: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/keycommand – Marco Daniel Jan 05 '12 at 12:39

@MarcoDaniel I suggest you add a suitable answer to the linked question :-) – Joseph Wright Jan 05 '12 at 12:41
I find the version \command[arg1][arg2] not optimal, since i will never remember which one is which one, if i want to give only one of them. I will look at the other suggestions. – Loic Rosnay Jan 05 '12 at 12:53
well both packages keyval and keycommand seem to do exactly that...i just have now to choose ! Any suggestion ? – Loic Rosnay Jan 05 '12 at 12:57
How about the simpler kvoptions? Read this, especially sections 3.3 and 7. – lockstep Jan 05 '12 at 13:08
@nicolasroy: For very simple commands, just use simplest keyval. For more complex macros, see A big list of every keyval package – Leo Liu Jan 05 '12 at 13:12
I tried first \usepackage{keycommand}, and it is verx eays to use, for my simple command in particular. Thanks for all the suggestions. – Loic Rosnay Jan 05 '12 at 13:58
