Example: Todo notes
- Created 2007-09-14
A clever and elegant way of placing todo notes in your document. The notes are shown in the margin and overlays are used to show where the notes were inserted. You can also create a list of todo notes with hyperlinks.
Update 2008-08-04
Henrik Skov Midtiby has released a new and improved version of todonotes. It is now available as a separate package todonotes.sty. The options the package understands are the following:
- disable
- If given the available commands have no effect
- dvistyle
- Another layout of the todonotes which properly places the todo notes text when the document is compiled with latex and not pdflatex
- color=value
- Sets the background color of the notes to value. Value is a color defined using the xcolor package
- bordercolor=value
- Sets the border color of the notes to value
- textwidth=value
- Sets the total width of the todonote to value. Value is a length.
Options to the todo command:
- color
- Sets the background color of the todonote
- size
- Changes the relative size of the todonote
- list / nolist (default: list)
- Toggles whether the todo item is shown in the list of todos
- inline / noinline (default: noinline)
- Toggles inline view of the todonote
- line / noline (default: line)
- Toggles a line that connects the insertion point of the todonote with the note in the margin
Note: To compile the example you will need the following file:
