One quick question, If the user highlighted two consecutive sentences, and if in the future, another couple of sentences are added in between them like <*sentence1*>new sentences<*sentence2*>, then will the new sentences be highlighted as well? How will you store what has been highlighted and how

Hi Pratik, Yes, I am considering that wiki-text changes continuously. The tool I am currently working on or rather say testing consists the highlighting part only. Exporting can be done using a wikipedia profile system and showing the topic by topic highlighted points all at one place. By "Making
