Fixme replacement

Fixme replacement

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?

Thanks
Robert

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.

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

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.
Robert
