Tagging Visual Markups

yes, yes, yes

As I was highlighting this morning, I was thinking "I really hope I can find this next time I'm teaching on apologetics." How nice would it be to be able to tag my highlighting as "Apologetics" so that I can just do a search for apologetics and get the highlights that I tagged for that topic?! I can't help but think that such a feature would be super popular and super powerful.

Here's what I have to do now: I copy and paste it and stick it in OneNote under apologetics tab. Currently my #1 use for OneNote is to collect topic-organized quotes from Logos. I would have made a clipping and tagged it "apologetics" but clipping crashes my Logos.

Great suggestion. The idea in my head is to combine visual filters and markups into one "markup Document" Visual filters would be considered dynamic markups and regular markups static markups. When you mark a text its added to a markup document. This way they could be turned off the same way visual filters are now. the markup document would show The faded gray words proceeding and preceding the markup (like in the exegetical guide) and the marked up text in between. a note would be attachable like in the passage guide and here is where you could set your tag. The document would be filterable by visual style and would return both dynamic and static results. This would be a great way of moving between mark-ups as clicking each would go to that marking. In my mind it works, anyway :-)

Of course the whole thing is pointless because I believe Logos already knows how they are going to do mark-ups. If I remember right what we have right now is to tide us over until post 4.0.

your clippings document would show up under a my content section of the topics search based on the tag ...mabye something like this already occurs based on clipping name, I am not sure but being able to apply multiple tags to the clipping along with individual markups would be useful in terms of later searching.

You can search clippings based upon the tags you give them. and you can currently attach tags to clippings....except for the fact that they crash :-)
