todonotes throws error about document-formats

[derric]

👍 I have the same problem

How are you calling the notes? Generally you have to specify inline as there is no side page margin:

\usepackage{todonotes}
. . .
\todo[inline]{foobar}

Thanks for your quick help! This does indeed make the document compile. Maybe inline should be the default?

[ayman]

I'd rather just remove the package as we used it during debugging and really don't want to 'support' it as such.

[wbueschel]

Yes, the inline option doesn't look very helpful anyways (uses too much space.) I have defined my own command for todos now. Something like \definecolor{todo}{rgb}{0,.7,.2} \newcommand{\todo}[1]{\textcolor{todo}{(TODO: #1)}} is sufficient, for me at least.

Reopening for @floe's pull request/solution #22.

[ayman]

Just took this. Thanks. I'm wondering if the .tex example or the .cls file should document this else nobody will find it. Thoughts @floe?

[floe]

Good point, I'll prepare a small example for the .tex template.

[ayman]

Leave it commented out somewhere in the header as an example. I'll merge
and likely update a bit.

chi_draft should now allow for this. We're gonna leave it a bit hidden for now but might add more instructions later in the template or readme.

Hello all

I have the same problem today with \todonotes and CHI format. What is a good way to use \todo{} with CHI format? (except inline mode which I already used).

Thanks

@vinhqdang did you try the chi_draft option?
