Treat \todo commands similar to % todo comments #3673

hansonmcoombs commented 1 month ago

I'm running into an issue where we want to collaborate with a third party on a part of a document written in LaTeX, but that person is not familar with LaTex and will be contributing snippits of work to the project via google docs or word. This is always a challenge but I have a lot of key information sequestered as %todo comments (as the pycharm/IDEA todo managment is excellent). Unfortunately from my reading it is not possible to include these inputs into the PDF.

I could switch them all to \todo{} comments (easy todo package), but then they will not show up in the pycharm todo consol...

Feature thought: Either support for \todo highlighting in pycharm/IDEA or support (via a compile flag) to transform the % todo comments into \todo{comment} for rendering into the pdf

Thanks for the suggestion, I think it might be possible to have \todo{...} commands as e.g. from the todonotes package show up in the todo tool window, that would be nice. Maybe we can also do the in-editor highlighting. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/additional-minor-features.html#additional-places

The only thing that could get tricky is making sure that "\" doesn't get flagged by the IDE as a comment... that'd be a bummer!
