Highlighting
I've just started using highlight and can't understand it very well.
I highlighted a passage in a bible and expected the same passage to show highlighted in my other bibles, but it didn't. Am I expecting too much or doing something wrong?
Also, what is the difference between "highlighter pens" as shown in the men bar for NIV Anglicised, and "sympathetic highlighting" as shown on most other bibles I use?

Highlights are resource-specific - so they won't appear in other Bibles.
This is something which has been requested by many people but there are issues in making it happen, particularly due to different versification schemes in different translations.

Where are you seeing "highlighter pens" in the menu bar for NIV Anglicised? I can't see it
Sympathetic highlighting allows for sections of text you have selected in one version to be temporarily highlighted in another. This relies on having an underlying reverse interlinear which is why you don't see it in the NIV Anglicised. More details at http://wiki.logos.com/Sympathetic_highlighting

Just to add a little to what Graham already wrote:
- Notes can be attached to either a "selection" or to a "reference." In Logos, highlighting is now (for more than a year) a special form of note, which is by definition by "selection."
- Notes that are attached to a "reference" will appear in any and all versified resources at that location. If you add a note to the reference at Hebrews 10:24 in the NIV, it will appear in every other Bible, commentary, or other resource which happens to be versified.
- Since you are allowed to highlight down to even a single character, highlighting is by "selection." If it were by "reference," you would only be able to highlight the entire verse. Also, if you were able to highlight by "reference," you would potentially have pages and pages of commentary with solid highlighting, since a reference may be lumped into a section which is 5 pages or more!

I see it when I press the white/green/blue circles. It appears under "Notes".
Thanks both for you and Alabama24 for replying. But it doesn't look like it does what I want for now.

The three intersecting circles is the visual filter menu for that resource. This is how you turn on & off individual note files for a resource from within L4/L5. If you have an item in that list called "highlighter pens," it is because you have created a note in the note file "highlighter pens" which applies to the NIV Anglicised resource. NOTE: only note files which have notes that apply to that resource will appear in the list. Once you add a note that applies to that resource to any given note file, it will then appear in the list (and not before).
