This is already possible; every scripture you've highlighted using the Study Bar on LDS.org or using a mobile Gospel Library app will appear in a Notebook. You can also apply tags, and use the tag as a way to easily jump to the scripture. Regardless of whether you see the reference via a notebook or a tag, you can simply click on the scripture reference and you'll be taken directly to that scripture in context.moonman239 wrote:I'd very much like to be able to jump to a scriptural phrase that I already highlighted.

https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/luke/15.4-10?lang=eng#3No, I was talking about the tag feature in Gospel Library mobile apps or the Notes tool on LDS.org. That's a simple feature for users that allows a marked scripture or other content to be tagged, typically with a subject such as "repentance" or "faith". Then you can go to the "faith" tag and see all the scriptures or other content tagged with "faith".mevans wrote:Maybe you're trying to keep a bunch of hyperlinks so you can quickly open them for a talk or lesson? I believe what aebrown was talking about was HTML anchor tags.
Thanks, aebrown. I hadn't realized until now that I could apply a tag to a bookmark on the lds.org web pages. I use tags quite extensively for highlights.

Do those links work in iOS and Android? I know it works in iOS. If so, is it the same URL scheme? gospellibrary://content/ etc.lmcguire wrote:In the Gospel Library app, you can also create a link so that you can jump from one bit of highlighted text to a particular location (paragraph, verses) which you specify when creating the link.
Oh, OK. Never mind.lmcguire wrote:I'm not talking about manually linking to content in the GL from outside the GL. I'm talking about highlighting text, tapping the link icon, navigating to the target of the link and saving that so that you have a custom link in the footnotes. All inside the GL app. That works in both Android and iOS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRKyTRbAygQ
I'm learning JavaScript and thought it might be a fun project to make a bookmarklet that adds a "jump to previous/next highlight" box to LDS.org. If you add the following script to your bookmarks bar (select all and drag is easiest) you can click on it whenever you're on LDS.org, to add a navigator to the bottom of the chapter or article:moonman239 wrote:I'd very much like to be able to jump to a scriptural phrase that I already highlighted.
