Clemens Niederberger submitted the
snotez
package.
Summary description: sidenote support for LaTeX 2e
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This has just been an exercise on a lazy afternoon. Well, more or less at least.
Since there already is Andy Thomas' `sidenotes' package
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sidenotes) there is probably no real need
for `snotez'. Moreover, the tufte classes
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tufte-latex) as well as the memoir class
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir) also provide corresponding
mechansims. Besides the fun I had my motivation was also based on the fact that
I didn't like some smaller things (_not_ bugs) done by the `sidenotes' package
such as inserting kerns and superscripted commas for multiple marks. I prefer to
let my `fnpct' package handle these things. Anyways, here it is and it seems to
be working as intended so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available to
others for use.
