I use footnotes for this sort of thing, but don't find it very ideal. I've occasionally thought of a link type that operates more like the comment feature of Word Processors That Shall Not Be Named. So you'd do the following: Aliquam erat volutpat. Nunc eleifend leo vitae magna. In id erat non orci commodo lobortis. Proin neque massa, cursus ut, gravida ut, lobortis eget, lacus. [[Sed diam. Praesent fermentum tempor tellus. Nullam tempus. Mauris ac felis vel velit tristique imperdiet. Donec at pede. Etiam vel neque nec dui dignissim bibendum.]][#:I hear all this isn't really Latin, but who am I to say?]] Vivamus id enim. Phasellus neque orci, porta a, aliquet quis, semper a, massa. Phasellus purus. Pellentesque tristique imperdiet tortor. Nam euismod tellus id erat. I'm making up the "#:" syntax, but you see what I mean. The comment would disappear, the text would be highlighted somehow, and perhaps it could even be exported to a proper comment in ODT, and turned into a custom container/environment in other export backends. HTML tooltips, marginpars, etc. Just a thought. Eric
