These allow authors to annotate status information in the source. In % draft mode, the annotations are shown for communication, and in publication mode these % are suppressed. % \end{abstract} % % \section{Introduction}\label{sec:intro} % % When collaborating on a document with multiple authors, communication about the status % of a given passage and intentions about what to do with it, indications about issues % still need to be resolved, and directives to other authors, e.g. calling for help, or % passing the baton, etc. make up much of the overhead involved in collaboration. In % particular, many of the necessary communicative acts are centered around specific points % or passages in the document at hand. Therefore it is natural to embed the communicative % acts in the document source itself. The simplest version of this is to special markers % like ``(*** remember to rework this before publication ***)'', where the markers % ``(***'' and ``***)'' serve as a visual aid and target for search and navigation tools % in the editor. Of course this is dangerous, and we have all seen published texts with % such markers still present. % % The {\LaTeX} package described in here systematizes the idea and provides more conspicuous % visual markers (as footnotes and margin notes) and a way of making all all of these % private markers and comments invisible for publication or outside communication. % % \section{The User Interface}\label{sec:user-interface} % % As usual in {\LaTeX}, the package is loaded by |\usepackage[|\meta{options}|]{ed}|, % where |[|\meta{options}|]| is optional and gives a comma separated list of options. % Currently the |ed| package only takes two options |show| and |hide|, where |hide| is the % default case, so that |\usepackage{ed}|, is equivalent to |\usepackage[hide]{ed}|. If % the |show| option is given, then the editorial notes are presented as special % annotations to the document, otherwise they are completely invisible --- if you take % care about spaces in the source code. For instance % |text|\textvisiblespace|\ednote{|\ldots|}|\textvisiblespace|text| will fool {\TeX}'s % whitespace-collapsing algorithm and bring it to output two spaces in the document % instead of just one as expected |text\ednote{|\ldots|}|\textvisiblespace|text| should be % used instead! This |hide| option useful for preparing ``clean'' version for outside % consumption without loosing the management metadata. % % \subsection{Annotation Macros} % % \DescribeMacro{\ednote} The main user macro of this package is |\ednote|. It is used say % what you have done or what should still be done at a given point in the document. % |ed.sty| formats it like a footnote, but with a margin note that marks the place in the % text, where the note is located. Otherwise, in the presence of multiple |\ednote|s in a % page it may be difficult to find the referenced locations\ednote{this is an example of % an ednote}. Editorial notes are numbered and marked in the margin for easy % recognition. |\ednote| also takes an optional argument that is an identifier. This % allows to cross-reference ednotes in each other. % % \DescribeMacro{\issue} The |\issue| macro\issue{this is an example of an issue} is a % variant of |\ednote| for issues that still have to be discussed among the authors. For % issues the labeling and cross-referencing in the optional argument is especially useful. % % \DescribeMacro{\tweak} The |\tweak| macro\tweak{this is an example of an tweak} is a % variant of |\ednote| for marking places where we have tweaked something (apart from the % standard way we usually use). % % \DescribeEnv{todo} The |todo| environment is a environment that can be used to mark up % writing tasks. These are inserted into the text in a different font, so that they are % conspicuous as a foreign part, and take an argument for a comment. % % \DescribeEnv{todolist} The |todolist| is a variant of the |todo| environment which is a % is an itemized list. % % The following is an example, generated form the the input % |\begin{todolist}{an example todolist}| \ldots |\item| \ldots |\end{todolist}|. % \begin{todolist}{an example todolist} % \item lots of good examples % \item a general chapter about best practices % \end{todolist} % % \DescribeEnv{newpart}\DescribeEnv{oldpart} the |newpart| environment can be used to mark % up changed text blocks. |\beg||in{newpart}| takes an argument that is interpreted as a % comment and is treated like an |\ednote| comment. The |oldpart| environment is similar % to |newpart| but is used for old parts of text copied from another document that still % need to be changed in a document. % % The annotation macros have capitalized variants (|\Ednote|, |\Issue|, |\Tweak|, |Todo|, % |Newpart|, |Oldpart|) that do not make location marks in the margin. This is convenient % in situations (e.g. inside boxes or minipages) that allow footnotes, but no margin % notes. % % \subsection{Generating Statistics and Explanations} % % \DescribeMacro{\ednotesmessage} Putting the macro |\ednotemessage| just before the % |\end||{document}| will generate a message with cardinality information for the ednotes % into the log file. % % \DescribeMacro{\edexplanation} The |\edexplanation| macro generates an explanation of the % best practices into the document. So that if you introduce collaboration partners to the % |ed| package, you can give them an explanation ``in-place''. % \subsection{Configuration} % % \DescribeMacro{\ednoteshape} The font shape of editorial annotations is governed by the % parameter |\ednoteshape| the default is sans serif, specialize it to say italic by % |\def\ednoteshape{\it}| % % \subsection{Best Practices} % In a situation with multiple authors, we it is advisable to use the |\ednote| in the % following form: |\ednote{author: some explanatory text}| to specify the originator of the % note. % % \StopEventually{\newpage\PrintChanges\ednotemessage} % \newpage % \section{The Implementation} % % The implementation is rather standard. We first set up the options for the package. The % main switch is |\showednotes|, which governs the visibility of the annotations. % \begin{macrocode} %<*package> \newif\ifshowednotes\showednotesfalse % \end{macrocode} % the next step is to declare the package options, they just set |\showednotes| switch % accordingly. % \begin{macrocode} \DeclareOption{show}{\showednotestrue} \DeclareOption{hide}{\showednotesfalse} \ProcessOptions % \end{macrocode} % The next step is to load the |verbatim| package, so that we can comment out the % todo lists. % \begin{macrocode} \ifshowednotes\else\usepackage{verbatim}\fi % \end{macrocode} % This ends the package setup code, so we can come to the implementation of the % functionality of the package. % \begin{macro}{\ednoteshape} % We start with the configuration part, predefining % |\epdnoteshape| to be sans serif. % \begin{macrocode} \def\ednoteshape{\sffamily} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % % The next step is to set up a counter for the editorial annotations % \begin{macrocode} \newcounter{ednote} % \end{macrocode} % \begin{macro}{\ed@foot} % The internal macro |\ed@foot| is used to actually make the annotations, it is used % by the interface macros to give the annotations. It takes three arguments: A comment % text that goes into the footnote, a type descriptor, and an identifiers. % \begin{macrocode} \def\ed@foot#1#2#3% text, type, label {\def\test{#3}\def\empty{}\footnotetext[\value{ednote}]% {{\scshape{#2}\if\test\empty\else\label{ed:#3}[{#3}]\fi:} \ednoteshape #1}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\Ed@note} % Another internal macro |\Ed@note| adds label management to |\ed@foot| % \begin{macrocode} \def\Ed@note#1#2#3% text, type, label {\addtocounter{ednote}{1}\message{#2!}% \ifshowednotes\footnotemark[\arabic{ednote}]\ed@foot{#1}{#2}{#3}\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\ed@note} % |\ed@note| is a variant of |\Ed@note| that also makes an identifying mark in the % margin. % \begin{macrocode} \def\ed@note#1#2#3% text, type, label {\Ed@note{#1}{#2}{#3}\ifshowednotes\marginpar{#2(\arabic{ednote})}\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\ednote} % with the |\Ed@note| and |\ed@note| macros it is very simple to get the desired % functionality of |\Ednote| and |\ednote|: % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand{\Ednote}[2][]{\Ed@note{#2}{EdNote}{#1}} \newcommand{\ednote}[2][]{\ed@note{#2}{EdNote}{#1}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\tweak} % and of course for |\issue|: % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand{\tweak}[2][]{\ed@note{#2}{Tweak}{#1}} \newcommand{\Tweak}[2][]{\Ed@note{#2}{Tweak}{#1}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % \begin{macro}{\issue} % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand{\issue}[2][]{\ed@note{#2}{Issue}{#1}} \newcommand{\Issue}[2][]{\Ed@note{#2}{Issue}{#1}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % % \begin{environment}{new@part} % For the text status environments |newpart| and |oldpart| we also set up an internal % macro that does the work. % \begin{macrocode} \def\new@part#1#2#3% text, mess, start {\addtocounter{ednote}{1}\edef\new@number{\theednote}\message{#2!\new@number} \ifshowednotes\ed@foot{#1}{#2}{}\marginpar{#3(\new@number)}\fi} \def\endnew@part#1% end {\ifshowednotes\marginpar{#1(\new@number)}\fi} % \end{macrocode} % \end{environment} % \begin{environment}{newpart} % We instantiate it for the |newpart| environment % \begin{macrocode} \newenvironment{Newpart}[1]{\new@part{#1}{New Part}{BegNP}}{} \newenvironment{newpart}[1]{\new@part{#1}{New Part}{BegNP}}{\endnew@part{EndNP}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{environment} % \begin{environment}{oldpart} % and of course for the |oldpart| environment % \begin{macrocode} \newenvironment{Oldpart}[1]{\new@part{#1}{Old Part}{BegOP}}{} \newenvironment{oldpart}[1]{\new@part{#1}{Old Part}{BegOP}}{\endnew@part{EndOP}} % \end{macrocode} % \end{environment} % % \begin{environment}{todo} % How we define the |todo| environment depends on the |\showednotes| switch (or the % package option).

This explanation is an example of a todo list, it is inserted into the text in a different font. \item the {\tt{newpart}} environment can be used to mark up changed text blocks. {\tt{\char92begin\char123newpart\char125}} takes an argument that is interpreted as a comment and is treated like an {\tt{\char92ednote}} comment. \item the {\tt{oldpart}} environment is similar to {\tt{newpart}} but is used for old parts of text copied from another document that still need to be changed in a document. \item putting the macro {\tt{\char92ednotemessage}} just before the {\tt{char92end\char123document\char125}} will generate a message with cardinality information for the ednotes into the log file. \item all of these text decorations and meta-annotations are only inserted into the text, if the {\tt{show}} package option in the {\tt{\char92 usepackage}} directive in the preamble of the document is set: {\tt{\char92 usepackage[show]\char123ed\char125}} will show the decorations, while {\tt{\char92 usepackage\char123ed\char125}} will not.
