Disclaimer: I don't favor any one of the todos over the other. You asked how to
encourage usage and that's how I would do it.
Thanks.
The todo list package was abandoned by the original inventor. Currently
I maintain it, that means keep it compiling. I don't use it myself and
I have no plans to extend it. The package supports various todo formats
and if someone wants to add another one feel free to send a patch.
Parsing a todo is pretty simple so there is almost no maintenance cost
to support another format. I see little reason to remove a format.
At the moment it supports:
//todo, //#todo, {todo}, {#todo}, (*todo*), (*#todo*)
And the same for 'done'.
IMHO it would be nice if the user can check what todo formats he likes
(e.g. list of checkboxes). By default it could be only {%todo},
{%done}.
I'm not promising, I'm still trying to find a SPARC bug. But I think it
would be nice if everything were guided towards consistency.
Keep in mind that IDE directives only supports the curly bracket
comments.
Thanks for the reminder, I think FPC macros have a similar restriction.
