Hello,
another question regarding the LaTeX bundle: There have been requests for making footnotes collapsable in the past. I still find this highly desirable, but there does not seem to be an easy solution for this at the moment. (Background: I work with a document with a lot of footnotes, many of them being rather long. It would be much easier to read and edit the main text if the footnotes could be collapsed.)
I'd like to ask if another thing could be implemented more easily: It would already help a lot if the footnotes would appear in another color (or with another background color), so that it would be possible to see where a footnote starts and ends immediately.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Matthias

This is highly doable. You just need to define a context for meta.footnote.latex in the Fonts and Colors preference -- give it a foreground and background color that stand out nicely, and you should be all set.

Yes, you would need to add support for footnotes in the language grammar [1], e.g. scope them meta.footnote.latex, and then add a visual style for that in preferences [2].

Hi Matthias,
You can do this yourself pretty easily. The scope for footnotes is meta.footnote.latex (you can determine the scope of a position by placing the caret where you want it and pressing ctrl shift p). Open the preferences, select Fonts and Colors, add the scope meta.footnote.latex (if it is note already there) in your favorite theme and select whatever color you want.
All the best, Mark On 3 Aug 2006, at 18:56, Matthias Damm wrote:

Thanks to all of you, that was really easy!
