siamltex + todonotes package

Question

Quite simply, I would like to render a todo-list at the beginning of an article I am working on. I am using the siamltex document class, however, which seems to get in the way somehow.

Here is a MWE:

    \documentclass[draft]{siamltex}
    \usepackage{todonotes}

    \begin{document}
    \listoftodos

    I love cats.  Cats are great.  I wish I could write my thesis on cats. \todo{Mention again how amazing cats are.}

    I wish I could be a cat.  They just eat, sleep, poop, and sometimes vomit.  And then there's the petting.  It's like a 24/7 massage.  \todo[inline]{Schedule a massage for yourself pronto.}
    \end{document}

I have to use the siamltex document class, so simply changing the class is not an option.

For reference, here is the .tdo file:

    \contentsline {todo}{Mention again how amazing cats are.}{1}{section*.2}
    \contentsline {todo}{Schedule a massage for yourself pronto.}{1}{section*.3}

Answer 1

The siamltex class sets tocdepth to 0, but you need it at 1. There's another small problem, because the section titles are set inline. I wouldn't bother about the indentation of the title, since this is just for drafts.

\documentclass{siamltex}
\usepackage{todonotes}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd{\listoftodos}{\@starttoc}{\mbox{}\par\@starttoc}{}{}
\makeatother
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}

\begin{document}

\listoftodos
