LaTeX Snippets

Here are some snippets that can be useful for those writing articles or thesis in LaTeX:

Inserting comments

This is a “inline” version, will post the “side note” version later.

\newcommand{\nb}[2]{
{
 {\color{red}{
 \small\fbox{\bfseries\sffamily\scriptsize#1}
 {\sffamily\small$\triangleright~${\it\sffamily\small #2}$~\triangleleft$}
 }}}
}

\newcommand\rr[1]{\nb{RR}{#1}}

% add here macros for other reviewers

%------

% use in the text as follows

This is a sentence with a remark \rr{This sentence needs to be reviewed}.

Inserting a figure

\newcommand{\myfig}[3] %label, caption, filename
{
\begin{figure}[h!]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{pics/#3}
 \caption{#2}
 \label{fig:#1}
\end{figure}
}
