Re: [O] Marking/highlighting text temporarily

Hi all, Actually, having pondered this whole annotation and task business while heading home after work on the train, I think all I would like is a simple annotation scheme with no need for tasks etc. We have plenty of support for tasks with headlines. What we don't have is simple annotations.

Re: [O] Marking/highlighting text temporarily

I think it could benefit from a dedicated syntax in the following context: There are different types of annotation you might like, e.g. delete, insert, replace, comment (I am drawing from ideas of annotations in PDF, and the idea of track changes). In multi-author documents you might want to know
