LaTex newbie here. Currently using vim with solarized color scheme to edit .tex documents.
When writing I often jump around to different parts of the document, leaving gaps behind to work on later. In Microsoft Word I would highlight text in yellow to remind myself what needed to be finished.
How can I do something similar with my .tex documents? I have seen this question but the answers focus on adding notes or highlighting to the final pdf product. I want something to stand out in the actual tex document I'm working on.
I tried putting comments after the lines, but these didn't stand out very well (almost same color as standard text). This may simply be a color scheme problem.
What is a typical/recommended way to do this?

You could use the
soul
package. If you put\usepackage{xcolor}
and\usepackage{soul}
in your preamble, then you can simply use\hl{...}
to highlight a piece of text.Code
