Introduction 2. Features 3. Installation 4. Contributing and Feedback 5. Contributors 6. License 1 Introduction ══════════════ Org-remark lets you highlight and annotate text files and websites with using Org mode [1].

For installation and minimum configuration, refer to [Installation] below or the user manual: [online] or Info node `(org-remark) Installation' Getting Started in the user manual will get you started in 5 minutes: [online] or or Info node `(org-remark) Getting Started'. ## Recent NEWS: Version 1.1.0 Features: - feat: notes-and-source sync Previously, Org-remark was designed to create/update/delete highlights from the source buffer to its marginal notes buffer; this was always one-way from the source to the notes. Now we have implemented the updating process in the other direction from the notes to source. Functionally, we currently have echo-text/tooltip containing an excerpt from the body of notes from the notes buffer (thanks to @mooseyboots). Other than this additional feature, there should be no visible change for end users. The update should all happen transparently behind the scenes with no to little change for end users of Org-remark. - feat: echo-text update from the marginal notes to the source buffer This is a code contribution by marty hiatt (@mooseyboots). He has done FSF copyright assignment in July, 2022. Now the source buffer can Display annotation text as help-echo or tooltip. Thank you, @mooseyboots. This has opened up an avenue to implement "notes sync" feature which updates select elements of marginal notes buffer back into the source buffer for highlight overlays. - feat: Extend support for non-file-visiting buffer We now have an approach to extend Org-remark to support non-file-visiting buffers of various modes. Currently it is assumed that the support is to be implemented per mode basis. We have support for EWW with 'org-remark-eww-mode' and its dedicated file and feature 'org-remark-eww'. Refer to its implementation as a reference as to how this approach is currently practiced. - feat: Global minor mode org-remark-eww-mode Support taking annotations in eww buffers for websites A new feature contributed by Vedang Manerikar (@vedang). He has completed FSF paperwork in May, 2022 and received a PDF regarding the same from the FSF. This has opened up a big new avenue to support highlights in non-file visiting buffers. Thank you @vedang. EWW support is modularized in a separate file 'org-remark-eww.el'. org-remark-link: prop for EWW Now 'org-remark-link' property in the marginal notes buffer contains the URL that you can follow for the source website. - add: org-remark-open-hook #40 Hook run when a note buffer is opened/visited. The current buffer is the note buffer. Fixes: - refactor: change the default colors of yellow pen #52 This is to cater to users who have dark theme that may render the highlighted text illegible due to the default background color of yellow. - fix: Text cut off in notes if the highlight spans across two lines #56 Thanks to GitHub user @sati-bodhi for reporting and suggesting a fix (code implemented by nobiot). Thank you @sati-bodhi. - fix: issue #44 change CATEGORY Now CATEGORY property from the highlight can be properly deleted if a new pen does not have CATEGORY. - fix: case for highlight-get-text empty notes at the bottom of buffer - fix: text-property org-remark-label to be symbol Fixes the error when you do 'describe-text-properties' on the highlight overlay - fix: move org-remark-source-find-file-name to tracking After EWW support, 'org-remark-source-get-file-name' is now moved to 'org-remark-global-tracking.el' file - fix: source-file-name incorrect issue #39 PR #38 by Nan Jun Jie (@nanjj). Thank you @nanjj. Version 1.0.5 - fix #28 toggle causes error on saving highlights - fix #39 source-file-name incorrect issue Version 1.0.4 - fix: "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" on highlightintg in scratch Version 1.0.3 ... ...
