Highlighting text in a resource
How do we highlight text in a resource?? I see the visual filter, which has great value. But that doesn't replace the need to highlight or format particular passages in a given resource. I can't read anything without the ability to underline or hightlight. Am I missing something, or is that just not here?

We will consider this suggestion and if we do implement it, probably will come in an update in 4.0+ versions. Thanks.0

Boy, oh boy, this would be a big mistake to leave out of the initial release. Can't imagine the thinking behind this. I use it often. I only wish there were more options.

Peace and Joy to you! *smile*
Maybe I'm a bit dense, but I don't really understand. Just read this post a few minutes ago - highlighted and copied Phil 4.4 ----- Here it is:
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Then I added it to one of my notes...

They don't mean the ability to highlight with a mouse for copying, but to add a highlight like one would using a yellow highlighter on a written page. Nearly all Bible software programs have the ability to do this. To leave such a basic feature out of a release when it has been there in the past and almost every other program has it would be a HUGE oversight. It would be like selling a car without a radio. You can by hardly anyone would.

Thank you, Kevin! Peace to you! *smile*
I appreciate your post very much. I use the visual highlights all of the time on v. 3. For some reason, I did not become aware that that was the kind of highlighting they were referring to you :-)
Yours in Christ,

this feature is not in the Beta, and, according to Bob, may not be in the final v.4.
That's not nice!! As someone who has invested in Visual Markup, I think it's pretty important to have the feature and to have a way of converting v.3 markup to v. 4. I would hate to lose that work.

Trust me, many of us, even who have not used markups and notes, have voiced this opinion repeatedly and i will continue to make it every chance I get.

I'll weigh in on this as well. I think it's essential to have custom markup capability in the final version of the product. I use visual filters all over the place, but I also do lots of custom markup on things like synoptic gospels parallels -- which can only be done at this point by hand, using highlighter pens or equivalent. I have done extensive work on this in v.3 and if it's not in the final release of v.4, I will have to keep running v.3 to support it (and recommending that all my students in gospels classes do the same!)

I'm going to agree.
Just as a basic thing when reading..I highlight words or sentences....even if I get rid of them after the session...this is just basic stuff....

Finally up and running and was trying to figure this out. I'm very disappointed that I can't use visual markups. I mark up everything I read! I hope it gets added back in a later version.

Hopefully the development team will reconsider this. Custom highlighting really is crucial. As well as the ability to import your highlighting from Version 3. Why would I "upgrade" to version 4 if I lose all my work in doing so??

Just weighing in with others on this...To me, the customizable highlighting is a must-have feature.

I'll agree here. One of the main "selling points" of Libronix as a system was the ability to carry around a whole library in my PC. I can't have a library of "books" that I can't markup and highlight.
Pretty simple.

I know it's coming..... but.....
The new reading view is seriously limited by the inability to add highlighting as we read our way through a text.

I agree that highlighting and the ability to add symbols to what you reading should be included. As far as I am concerned, this is a no-brainer!
