Re: How to move from inline tasks to drawers? [was: How to change the width of a latex exported inlinetask?]

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

I use it when editing papers mostly. The main difference is I can put
them inline {>~ @jk here is a comment.~<} in a paragraph. I use them to
mark {>.tpyos.<}, text for {>-deletion-<} removal, or {>+insertion+<},
{y>highlighted text <y}, etc. There is some reasonable export code for
these in html and latex. They are like a generalization of an org-link
in a sexp like form, so you can include metadata like an author name, or
other things.

These have a track change kind of functionality (that turns out to be
quite hard to fully replicate) so you can accept or reject each
editmark. Similar to org-links, each editmark can have a variety of
other actions, e.g. a typo has an action to spell check it, and a
file/audio mark can open or play the file.

I also have some diff functions to generate diffs with these markups
from versions of files, including git versions for integration latex
diff, etc.

It does most of what I want well now, but there are still some corners I
don't go into where it doesn't do exactly everything yet, or where I
haven't tested it very fully (e.g. the diffs).
