I would like my document as I am writing it to be independent of software layouts as I think it would be a better decision to make at the end of the process. What would be good ways to denote stylistic notes within the text for later use. For example say I wanted to publish this text you are reading and I wanted for there to be a quick tip box on the right margin of the page. How would I denote this, something like this:
Margin-Right:
Quick Tip Box
"This is my Quick Tip Box"
What are some different ways to achieve this during the initial stages of writing.

I highlight that sort of thing. Quick, easy, impossible to miss. When I'm finished, I go back through and address them.
When I want to leave formatting notes throughout the page, I use Microsoft Word's comment feature. I'll leave notes that something should be formatted as a sign, or that something should be formatted as a letter or email or IM. This way its out of the way of the main text, but it's still noticeable and won't be missed when you go through at the end.
It's also how we're asked to do it for publishers as well. We're asked to mark things like trademarks, letters, email, IMs, etc. using the comment feature so that the ones that do the formatting at the end of the process know what needs to be done.
