? I think I called it "blind" note. Of course names are not fixed yet,
just working titles ("disabled"?, "post-it"?)

Yes, this isn't quite right. I messed up the disabled stuff. (And it's
gonna go once we replace the branch input box by a choice box.)

I was thinking of one category smaller text, sometimes used to present
material less central to the theme of a text.

Ah. Didn't try it. Perhaps it should validate for "color" (?)

I see. That's easy to fix in the NoteInset::latex() method. I just put
stuff there for now; wanted to get the framework right first.

Working on that; see other post.

One thing I see no easy way to do would be to have for the branch
notes a "three boxes" drawing method (discussed before) so it
contains running text continuing over the inset edges. This machinery
could then also be used for text style/font insets. Like
