Hi, using LyX I'm trying to convert the "comments" into "marginal notes".

I tried several things but without luck.

The best shot was like this:

\makeatletter

\@ifundefined{comment}{}{%

\renewenvironment{comment}[1]%

{\begingroup\marginpar{\bgroup#1\egroup}}%

{\endgroup}}

\makeatother

or like this:

\@ifundefined{comment}{}{%

\renewenvironment{comment}%

{\marginpar{}%

{}}%

But what I get is only the first character of the text converted. Like in this image:

IMAGE MARGINAL NOTE

I searched a lot trying to find how to solve this but without luck. I found the explanation of what is happening:

Unexpected Output Only one character is in the new font You thought you changed font over a selection of text, but only the first character has come out in the new font. You have most probably used a command instead of a declaration. The command should take the text as its argument. If you don't group the text, only the first character will be passed as the argument.

What I don't know and wasn't able to find is how to group the text.

Hope someone could help me :-)

Many thanks.

Best Regards,
