fixme
I am using fixme for the first time. After reading the pkg documentation and this question, I was expecting the package to output something of the PDF page, but it doesn't. The only thing I see is "some thing" and the page number.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fixme}
\begin{document}
some thing\fxnote{fix me please}
\listoffixmes
\end{document}
How about this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}% provides \colorlet
\usepackage{fixme}
\fxsetup{
status=draft,
author=,
layout=inline,
theme=color
}
\definecolor{fxnote}{rgb}{0.8000,0.0000,0.0000}
% define the background colour:
\colorlet{fxnotebg}{yellow}
% refedine the layout macro:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\FXLayoutInline[3]{%
\@fxdocolon {#3}{%
\@fxuseface {inline}%
\colorbox{fx#1bg}{\color {fx#1}\ignorespaces #3\@fxcolon #2}}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Some text \fxnote{other text} \fxnote*{blub}{blah}
\end{document}
EDIT: Here is a version that uses \hl from the soul package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}% provides \colorlet
\usepackage{soul}% provides \hl
\usepackage{fixme}
\fxsetup{
status=draft,
author=,
layout=inline,
theme=color
}
\definecolor{fxnote}{rgb}{0.8000,0.0000,0.0000}
% define the background colour:
\colorlet{fxnotebg}{yellow}
% refedine the layout macro:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\FXLayoutInline[3]{%
\@fxdocolon {#3}{%
\@fxuseface {inline}%
\begingroup
\sethlcolor{fx#1bg}%
\color {fx#1}\ignorespaces \hl{#3\@fxcolon #2}%
\endgroup}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Some text \fxnote{other text} \fxnote*{blub}{blah}
Some Text \fxnote{A somewhat longer note that is long enough to break into the next line
for demonstration purposes} and some more text.
\end{document}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nomargin,inline,marginclue,draft]{fixme}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\FXLayoutInline[3]{%
{\@fxuseface{inline}\ignorespaces[#3 \fxnotename{#1}: #2]}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
An apple is a pear \fxnote{Something's wrong here}
\end{document}

based on moewe's comment to the question
As it is stated in the documentation in ยง 3.4, "By default, FiXme is in final mode (LATEX itself behaves that way).", this is why we need to tell FiXme to go into draft mode.
