% The main goal is to provide an easy way to write annotations in LaTeX.
% This simple snippet of code should serve as a minimal working example.
% Step one
% ==== ===
% We write a command to describe the style of both the box and the text.
% If you think you can do a better job, feel free to adjust these rules.
\newcommand{\remark}[3]{%
{\colorbox{#2}{\sffamily\scriptsize\bfseries\textcolor{white}{#1}}}
{\sffamily\small\itshape\textcolor{#2}{#3}}
}
% Step two
% ==== ===
% We define a new command--using the previously defined one--for each author.
% You can add as many authors as you want; or as many colors as you can name.
\newcommand{\alice}[1]{\remark{Alice}{blue}{#1}}
\newcommand{\bob}[1]{\remark{Bob}{red}{#1}}
% Step three
% ==== =====
% Finally, we add a paragraph with some plain-old vanilla text,
% followed by a couple of inline remarks made by Alice and Bob.
As a minimal working example, we add a paragraph with some plain-old vanilla text.
\alice{This is a quite remarkable paragraph, I must say!}
\bob{Thank you for that insightful inline remark, Alice.}
