[Xerte-dev] Re: Marking up sections of text in editor

[Fay Cross]

Yes, but that alone's not going to work for what I need. I'd need to have an id for each marked up section too so it can be referenced elsewhere. I also didn't want to overcomplicate what you see when you look at the text in the editor or make it fiddly for the author to add and edit it. I think I probably will have to do some kind of custom control

Wasn't it usually to |add| around the |marked| up |words|?
