Annotations & Highlights

[jameskatt]

Was: Highlighting of Text By User

I'm interested in creating educational textbook apps.

PDF files already allow annotation so one can add highlighting, underlining, etc. to PDF books in various apps. A good example of this is the Goodreader app.

Is there any way to allow this using HTML for books? It would be neat to add as a feature for Baker sometime in the future if possible.

You surely could, it's just not something that comes right out of the box with Baker Framework, for now. But I think it's an interesting feature worth considering. :)

anyone come up with a solution for this?

[folletto]

We scheduled it, but it's quite low priority for now, if someone wants to pick this feature up just talk with us. :)

want to throw in the concept of openbookmarks, or a social margin, like *openmargin does: http://openmargin.com

surely not the thing for baker to have out of the box — but I like the idea of sharing and using content together — since I am not the only one reading that baker book.

Hi all,

I seem to remember reading a solution for this - with paint splat icons for selecting the highlight colour, yet now I can't find it.

Am I going crazy? Did I dream it? Was it somewhere (or even for something) else?

Thanks,

Aidan
