Need editing/deleting capabilities

[ericbarefoot]

Need editing functionality. I would like to have the ability to mark out words and replace them with colored text. I think this functionality is available through another package, so it's really just a matter of finding the right one.

It would work like \add{blahblahblah} or \delete{blahblahblah}

Mostly this works as a to-do list for me.

I think soul supports this. It offers strikethrough and coloring, in exactly the same way you're using it for highlighting in the notes. To replace with another text, the soul functionality can be wraped into another macro that takes the two (old text, new text) as arguments.

See this thread for where I was tipped off:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/139463/how-to-make-hl-highlighting-to-automatically-place-incompatible-commands-in

Also looks like there may be some useful info there on how to make the notes not break in certain situations (citations, references, etc). This seems like important functionality, but I have not tested anything.
