todonotes

The package lets the user mark things to do later, in a simple and

==== No announcement needed ===
The popupmenu Package
popupmenu is a LaTeX package used to create a menu
structure. This
menu structure (an array of menu items) is passed to the Acrobat
JavaScript method app.popUpMenuEx() method to create a popup
menu.
Using the environments defined in this package, and the command
popUpMenu, you can create and display hierarchical menus.
The menu
items can have JavaScript actions associated with them, they
can be
marked and dis-enabled.
The package requires only hyperref. Thus, users of pdftex,
dvipdfm,
and dvips can use this package. Two examples are included in the
distribution, additional examples can be found at the AeB Blog
http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/aebblog.html
