Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone already thought having a navigable "To Do" list
would be useful. I'm thinking navigable just as labels are (you can get a
dialog with all the labels and navigate to their definition point by double
clicking).
You can do exactly this with labels already.
Wherever you want a "todo", insert a label.
Prefix the "todo labelname" with "TODO:"
When you want to navigate, open the cross
reference dialog. Check the "sort" box, so
the labels gets sorted. Now all TODO items
are in one lump, no longer mixed with other labels.
Select the one you want and use "goto label".
The cursor jumps to that TODO-label.
Having such unreferenced labels have no effect
on output, of course.
I'm writing my thesis and To-Do lists help me organize how much
content I want to put in a section, so maybe having something that lets the
user insert the number of pages he expects to have there or a simple comment
or something that would not compile to the final dvi, but would be stored in
the file would be a good idea. I guess I could do this with comments, but
they are not navigable. What do you guys think?
The notes are not directly navigateable, but at least
you have navigate->next note. Consider a combination:
a label saying "TODO:5-pages-intro" for the
navigation, and a note too when you need to enter more non-printed
information than that.
