Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar macro in CoNTeXt to the LaTeX \Fixme package http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fixme.html. What fixme allowed me to do that I have yet to figure out in context is make inline notes "\fxnote" or marks "\fxwarning" "\fxerror" that would then in draft mode print either margin or footnotes where the change was needed. It was very handy when, as an editor, wanting to make quick comments in proofing. Fixme also prints an index of all the fixmes. Any ideas?

I don't believe you can do this at the moment, but it sounds like a nice feature to have. I'm stressed for time right now, but otherwise I'd be tempted to create such a module. Taco

if someone writes down what is needed i can write it (can run on top of exiting mechanisms for which i may need to add states [start|stop]); it sounds rather trivial to do Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Taco and Hans. So Hans, what do you need? I can give you an explanation of what the program does, but I am not LateX marco savvy enough to tell you how it does it. Basically, the macro is \fixme and it allows four types of notes; fixme, fxnote, fxwarning, and fxerror. Notes can appear in several ways; inline, margin, footnote, or index and can be in one or a combination of all four appearances. With the index environment, there is an extra \listoffixmes command needed. The environment that \fixme uses is by default that of quotation. I would be happy to provide more specific information including environments and customizations either in the list or off list. Thank you.
