I am not sure I completely understand your question. You get the doubling because you include both the string and the textString. The former is the contents value of the note or highight, while the latter is the text behind the highlight. In Skim we set the string to the textString. That’s why you se the doubling.
As for 3, highlights added by other apps will not be part of the template, as Skim doesn’t see them. So I don’t understand why you would ever get them. Or did you convert them? As I don’t understand what you mean by 3, I am not sure what to do. But perhaps you can add some condition tags for the type of the note around a part of your template.
