B.15 Illegal parameter number in definition

You have referred to a parameter (argument) number that is greater than the number of parameters you have specified. For example, suppose you defined the command to have only one parameter, then you can't use #2 which refers to the second, non-existent, parameter. Remember that you need to specify how many parameters you want in the optional argument to \newcommand, otherwise it will be assumed that the command has no arguments.
