Redefining symbol midway through a document
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowConflict between color, graphicx and libertineWish to design new integral symbol with infinity symbol through itTeXLive/PDFTeX fonts loading problemConverting all numbers in document to set number of decimal placesGenerating PDF/A-1b compliant documents using pdfx and pdfLaTeXUndefined control sequence Hy@MakeCurrentHrefAuto when using tex4htRedefining math symbols like eta (with ensuremath)Redefining command outside math modebar through letter in mathmodeAdd an iterative layer to IfFileExists to check each graphicspath
I am trying to have one command (phi) draw two different symbols (varphi and regular phi) in the same document.
I have tried this with the below:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath, amssymb}
newcommand{oldphi}{phi}
renewcommand{phi}{varphi}
begin{document}
$phi$
renewcommand{phi}{oldphi}
$phi$
end{document}
But this wont compile (with pdftex or TexMaker), it seem like it gets stuck in a loop and wont create a pdf, but I can't see why?
Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Yes: using phi` when you want it, and `varphi`` when it is the one you need.

With let, it works:

usepackage{amsmath, amssymb}
letoldphi=phi
letphi=varphi
begin{document}
$phi$
letphi=oldphi
$phi$
letphi=varphi
$phi$
letphi=oldphi
$phi$
end{document}

My understanding is that newcommand{x}{y} simply replaces "a" with "b" so can become circular, whereas letab actually sets a to the value of b, so resolves any self-referencing issues.
