General ⇒ Adding inline notes?

[skan]

In LaTeX you can add footnotes and margin annotations but...

How can you easily add inline notes or comments just in the region of interest, below or above the line?

Something like this:

notes-2.jpg (46.42 KiB) Viewed 4568 times

or this:

notes-1.png (31.06 KiB) Viewed 4568 times

I mean notes that are also going to be printed, as the rest of the document.

Some package or command with simple syntax like underbrace or hcancel but with an arrow would be great.

I don't mind if the line spacing changes or if the annotation partially overlaps with other text lines in a different color.

So far I've only heard about graphical solutions created with TikZ or PSTricks but they are quite complex.

Hi skan,

welcome to the forum!

The package todonotes is a very nice tool for adding inline notes and it looks great.

As far as I know the todonotes package isn't able to create annotations as I show in my example.
They call it inline but they are written on the margins like this:


That way is good to write text but in my opinion my way is better if you want to make small corrections or annotations on equations.
