Hi, Steph,
I've written a plugin (for Lacuna Stories) that does precisely what
you're asking. I'll note that the different colors quickly become a mess
because of the way transparencies combine. I don't currently have the
code in a public repo, but I plan to share it shortly (as in, within a
week). It's built on the 1.2 branch.
Best,
Mike

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating my options for introducing the functionality
to have predefined tags/categories with colors assigned to annotations
that will yield colored highlights of highlighted text. I'll be
building this on Annotator 1.2.version and likely upgrading to
Annotator 2 in the future.
Here are the options I'm seeing:
* Copy the existing Tags core plugin and add to it. This doesn't have
colored highlighting, so it would be a very basic building block.
* Start with the Tags-annotator, listed on the annotatorjs.org Plugins
page. This appears to have predefined tags + highlights, but the last
commit was in April of 2014.
* Start with the Categories Plugin, listed on the annotatorjs.org
Plugins page. This points to a forked version of annotator's
categories.coffee file. The last commit was a while ago.
* Start from scratch. I've already gone through a couple of iterations
of this functionality for another client, so I'm familiar with the
API. I could probably piece together a plugin from code I've already
written.
I can go ahead and evaluate each of the plugins to determine which has
features/options I need, but am I missing any options that should be
on this list. Are there any more "popular" or up-to-date plugins with
this type of functionality?
Thanks!
Steph
