At the Backpack forum, Rich Karpinski asked about a way to attach a comment or note to a to-do item:
I often want to store some text (either write it myself or cut and paste it in) associated with a specific to do item. But I also want a clean, one-line-each to do list. Having a “hidden” field where I could store content within an individual to do would be great.
Derick offered up this tip that offers this functionality kinda: Use footnotes to link up a to-do item with its explanation. Here's how:
In your list item, write, "Call Superintendent[1]" and textile formatting will then display it as:
I need to do this1
Then, elsewhere on the page, place a note that explains, "<a id="fn1">1. Call during business hours only, try his cell phone (312) 555-1212 if office number doesn't work." This will display as:
1. Call during business hours only, try his cell phone (312) 555-1212 if office number doesn't work
Here's an example of how this might work:
