I'm typing up a document in which I'd like to the margin's note font to be footnote size. This is my code:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{outlines,marginnote}
\usepackage[top=1cm, bottom=1.3cm, left=5cm, right=0.75cm, heightrounded, marginparwidth=4.6cm, marginparsep=3mm]{geometry}
\reversemarginpar
\newcommand{\mn}{\marginnote}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{flushleft}
\Large \underline{Chapter 8 \textsc{Lipids}}
\end{flushleft}
\section*{Lipids}
\begin{outline}[enumerate]
\1 What is a lipid? \mn{{\footnotesize How's it different from the other functional groups?}}
\end{outline}
\end{document}
As it can be seen from my MWE, I had to specify the font size while making the margin note, but I want \footnotesize
to assumed automatically. I'm thinking this can be done by modifying my \newcommand
for margin note. I tried playing around with it, but nothing worked. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
