Not sure I like the idea of jumping back and forth as well as adding my own footnotes to mingle with the "real" footnotes. Very cool look with the box, though.

Yes -- todonote doesn't seem to like this stuff much. Not pretty, but this works: ----- *************** Notes \linebreak \begin{tabular}{l|p{0.9\textwidth}} \quad & "Quote something with a nice line" \\ \end{tabular} \linebreak Say something about it. \linebreak Some more stuff. *************** END ----- I suppose manually entering linebreaks isn't sooo horrible... I can get that first linebreak with this: ----- (latex "\\todo[inline,color=blue!20]{\\textbf{\\textsf{%s %s}}\\linebreak{} \\linebreak \\linebreak %s}" '((unless (eq todo "") (format "\\textsc{%s%s}" todo priority)) heading content)) ----- We'll see what I end up with. I think I'll stick with todonotes for now. It's neat and pretty :) John > > -- > : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 > : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.176.g2c8e9) >
