todonotes: how to hide certain entries from list of todos?

Question

I'd like to handle some todos differently than others by defining a new command for them that makes them hidden in the list of todos. Just setting the caption to empty does not suffice (the entry remains just without any text beside the ellipsis and page number).

NWME:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{todonotes}
\presetkeys{todonotes}{inline}{}
\newcommand\todohidden[2][]{%
    \todo[inline, caption={}, #1]{%
        #2%
    }%
}

\begin{document}

\listoftodos

\vspace{0.5\textheight}
\todo{Normal todo}
\todohidden{Hidden todo}

\end{document}

Answer 1

The todonotes package provides the option nolist for the \todo command which will hide the note from the list of todos (see package documentation, page 6):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{todonotes}
\presetkeys{todonotes}{inline}{}
\newcommand\todohidden[2][]{%
    \todo[inline, nolist, #1]{%
        #2%
    }%
}

\begin{document}

\listoftodos

\vspace{0.5\textheight}
\todo{Normal todo}
\todohidden{Hidden todo}

\end{document}
