Format extracted annotations using markdown blockquotes

Open joelostblom opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

This is a feature request for adding option (maybe a hidden pref) to format extracted PDF annotations using markdown block quote syntax rather than double (similar to this Python script). I have read in other issues that the pdf.js section of zotfile needs some work before new features can be implemented, so I am leaving these suggestions here for consideration when appropriate.

- Page 2 Highlight:

    > Underlying text that was highlighted

    Comment made on highlighted text.

- Page 4 Note: A note on the page.

or

> Underlying text that was highlighted (p.2 highlight)

Comment made on highlighted text.

A note on the page. (p.4 note)

or maybe

- > Underlying text that was highlighted (p.2 highlight)

    - Comment made on highlighted text.

- A note on the page. (p.4 note)

Big ups on this. The third option is my favorite.
