It is primarily designed to support collaborative % document writing. The comments can be added to the text similarly % to \verb+\footnote+ and will be displayed on the margins in % text boxes connected by a thin line to the part of the text they refer % to. Thanks to the use of \texttt{sidenotes}, comments can float on % the margins to avoid overlaps. The text can optionally be scaled % down to allow comments to fit in otherwise narrow notes without % altering the document's template. % \end{abstract} % % \tableofcontents % % \section{Package options} % % The basic usage is to include a \verb+\usepackage{mnotes}+ to the % preamble of your \LaTeX\ document. % % The \textsf{mnotes} package also provides some basic % customisation of the way comments are displayed. The interface to the % package's options is, as usual, accessed through the \verb+\usepackage+ % command. % % The package options are: % \begin{itemize} % \item[\texttt{scale}] This enlarges the physical page of the % document to allow comments to fit in the margin area. The default % \verb+\usepackage[scale]{mnotes}+ is to make the physical page 5\% % larger than the original paper size. You can pass a value to this % option to control the the amount of space allocated to the % margins. For instance \verb+\usepackage[scale=1.2]{mnotes}+ makes % the physical page 20\% larger. \textbf{Important:} when printing % your draft, make % sure that the printer is set to shrink the page to printable area.\\ % Default: \texttt{scale=1.05}. % \item[\texttt{mnwidth}] Sets the default width for the comment % boxes. \\ Default: \texttt{mnwidth=2.2cm}. % \item[\texttt{boxcolour}] the colour of the box that encloses the % comments (and of the lines that connect comments to the % text). \\Default: \texttt{boxcolour=red}. % \item[\texttt{hide}] Hides all notes. Useful for generating a final % (camera-ready) version without comments, without actually removing % the comments from the \LaTeX\ code. % % \changes{v0.6}{2013/04/22}{Added nosidenotes option} % \changes{v0.8}{2014/11/05}{By default don't use sidenotes. Specify % sidenotes option to use it. marginnote allows placement of MNOTEs on % floats; sidenote doesn't seem to.} % % \item[\texttt{sidenotes}] use sidenote package instead of plain marginnote. % \item[\texttt{basic}] This causes the note setting to fallback to % \LaTeX{} kernel's \verb+\marginpar+, in case \texttt{sidenotes} or % \texttt{tikz} isn't available. % % \changes{v0.6}{2013/04/22}{Added reverseconnect option} % % \item[\texttt{reverseconnect}] Some classes seem to call the right % column 'first column' (i.e. they set \verb+\if@firstcolumn+ to % \texttt{true} on the first column). This option tries to fix this, % so the lines link to the notes on the right side of the boxes % (west for right columns and east for left columns). The direction % of connection can also be reversed in the document through the % \verb+\ReverseMNConnect+ command. % \end{itemize} % % \section{Usage} % % \DescribeMacro{\MNOTE} The \verb+\MNOTE[colour]{comments}+ places % \texttt{comments} on the right margin of the document. Comments can % contain any valid \LaTeX\ code, including text, pictures, tables % etc. Comments are enclosed in boxes and linked to specific places in % the text by lines, except when the option \texttt{basic} is passed to % \verb+\usepackage+. If you are generating a \texttt{pdf} file with % \texttt{pdflatex} (or \texttt{pdftex}) you might have to run it % at least twice in order to get \texttt{tikz} to find the correct % coordinates for lines and boxes. % % The aim was to keep the interface as simple as % possible, so that the % usage can be quickly explained to your collaborators, even if they % are not regular \LaTeX\ users. The following example shows the basic % usage: % \begin{verbatim} % The aim was to keep the interface as simple as % possible\MNOTE{Revise this text}, so that the % usage can be quickly explained to your collaborators, even if they % are not regular \LaTeX\ users. % \end{verbatim} % % \DescribeMacro{\Mnewauthor} Define author-specific margin notes for % comments. \\The % \verb+\Mnewauthor[]{}{}+ macro % defines a command for personalised comments by author \verb+name+ by % setting up the command \verb+\mn[highlight]{comment}+ % which can then be used in the text. Usage: % \begin{verbatim} % \newauthor[BD]{Bob}{yellow} % \end{verbatim} % This defines \verb+\mnBD+, which can be used to comment and highlight % as follows: % \begin{verbatim} % \mnBD[this is highlighted]{this is a margin note.} or, % alternatively, without highlighting % \mnBDhis is a margin note with no highlights.} % \end{verbatim} % % \DescribeMacro{\HideMNOTES} Comments can be ``switched off'' at any % point in the text by adding a \verb+\HideMNOTES{}+ command anywhere % in the text. % \DescribeMacro{\ShowMNOTES} % They can be switched back on again through the % \verb+\ShowMNOTES{}+ % % \DescribeMacro{\ReverseMNConnect} % Toggle the side to which the comment boxes are connected to the % text, to be used in case \LaTeX\ looses track of it. Package option % \verb+reverseconnect+ reverses these connections globally. % % \section{Required packages} % % \begin{description} % \item[kvoptions] for option processing % \item[sidenotes] for note placement, including floats. N.B.: % \texttt{sidenotes} is not required if \texttt{basic} or \texttt{nosidenotes} % is passed % as an option. In this case, note placement reverts to \LaTeX{}'s % kernel's \verb+\marginpar+ macro. % \item[soul] for highlighting. % \item[tikz] for graphics (boxes and connectors).
