TODO notes are provided using the todonotes package.

Acronyms are provided using the acronym package.

They are defined in the file content/beginningContent/acronyms.tex, using the syntax:

\acro{key}[short]{long}    	Define a new acronym.

When it comes to using an already defined acronym, the following syntax is used:

\ac{key}					Display an already defined acronym.
\acs{key}					Display only the short version of an acronym.
\acl{key}					Display only the long version of an acronym.
\acf{key}					Displays the full (long and short) version of an acronym.

\ac[slf]p{key}				Same as \ac[slf], but displays the acronym in plural form.

Unfortunately the list of acronyms is not automatically sorted. You probably want to define them in alphabetical order.
