Extract Highlights Plugin Versions Save

New Feature

Create Contextual Quotes in "Note Explode Mode"

Based on @ngirard's ideas https://github.com/akaalias/extract-highlights-plugin/issues/6 🎉

An optional new setting that will retain the full line of a highlight for the quote in the exploded notes.

How this works:

Note the one highlight in line 3:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, ==quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat==. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Resulting note ("quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip....md")

Check out the quote under "Source": It's the full line with the highlight embedded giving context for your transcription etc.

## Source
> Ut enim ad minim veniam, ==quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat==. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.[^1]

New Features

💥 "Explode Notes Mode" 💥

A secret mode that will take your highlighting to the next level. Only available if you have 'Create Links' and 'Create new File' enabled. After enabling both, close this window and open again to see options.

• Explode links into notes - If enabled, will turn each highlight into a note with the highlighted text as quote and a backlink to the MOC and source-file. Very powerful but use with caution! (Disabled by default)

• Open exploded notes on creation – If enabled, will open each of your exploded notes when you create them. Fun and useful to continue working in your highlight-notes right away! (Disabled by default)

Settings Pane

What you get with this feature:

Part 1: Like before, based on your highlights you get your highlights MOC note

Part 2: Explode now also creates new notes for each link in your highlights MOC (See the right-side with titles)

Part 3: Each note includes the highlight as a quote and a backlink to the original source note

Part 4: With the quote, you can now EASILY turn each highlight into your own words and explore the idea with questions, related notes etc.

New Features

• Option to automatically create a new file after extraction (Off by default)

Issues Fixed

New Features

Auto-capitalize highlights

I've found it annoying that my highlights would have these lowercase first-letters in the list. Just looked wonky, especially in combination with the ad-hoc MOC creation via links.

Optional and off by default.
