Nice! Now that I see it, the reversion of importance, if I can call it that, makes total sense: in the source, your comment is secondary in the sense that it is a comment triggered by something in the text. But when you bring it into Obsidian (which is primarily about your own thinking) that comment becomes the primary thing and the text that triggered it is added for context.
And the bullet list format is much easier to handle than the callout format I’ve been using so far. Including the ingenious idea with the todo items!
The only thing I’ll have to think about before adopting this template are the colours. Currently, I have the callouts in the same colour as the original highlights, which helps for recognition. Unfortunately, Obsidian doesn’t support multiple highlighting colours, but I found the highlightr plugin which adds exactly that.
Not sure I want to add another plugin, though,… Another disadvantage of highlighting all the highlights in obsidian (regardless of colour) is that I can’t highlight parts of the highlight later in. This is something I do quite often when going through my annotations, to make it easier to quickly grasp the core point of the highlight.
Okay, think I’ll stop my thinking-out-loud here. Just wanted to highlight the ingenuity of this solution.
If anybody has adapted the zettelizer macro to turn each bullet point into a separate note (see here), please post it here!
Or perhaps it is easier to adjust the Zotero integration template so that it adds a heading before each annotation (which the is what the Zettelizer macro uses to extract notes)?
In fact, yes, I think that’s actually the way to go, because that way I can make sure that only annotations in a certain colour will be turned into notes, or, even better: only the ones that have comments. yay!
Wow, I just wanted to write a quick response and figure things out later, but it looks like writing that quick response made me figure stuff out. Writing is thinking.
