Comments about notebook feature on new.lds.org

First of all, I am extremely excited about this feature! I love the ability to organize notes and how my stored notes are available when reading the articles or scriptures.
Below are a few comments/wishes for the notebook feature:
- Multiple notes per paragraph. Currently, notes seem to apply at the paragraph level. I can, of course, put all my thoughts about a paragraph into a single note, but then I may easily bump into the 4000 character limit.
[Earlier, I also mentioned this for highlights, but now I see that you can edit highlights and move the start and end of the highlights. That's really cool!]
Maybe another way to look at this request is to provide the ability to add a note to a highlight.
- Links in notes: I understand that you probably don't want to create a tool that requires knowledge of HTML in order to put links in notes (e.g. the HTML "a" tag with href="..."), but it seems that this currently works...sort of. If I go back to my notes, it shows the bare HTML, but then if I edit the note and save it, it goes back to displaying a clickable link.
Since there is other important material that is outside of new.lds.org that I would like to reference from my notes, it would be nice to have a supported way to embed links into notes.
- Are my notes included when I search new.lds.org? It doesn't seem that they are.
- The ability to show/hide individual notes.
Thanks again for this wonderful feature!
