Data Model for Importing Scripture Highlighting
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 10:20 am
Hey Forum,
I am looking for a more advanced feature for the LDS website that I think might help users make the difficult transition from "analog
scriptures to "digital" ones.
I was thinking about having the ability to display highlighting and links via a data model that can be rendered into the scriptures. For example:
This work highlight D&C section 35:13 in red from word 0 to word 15.
It is NOT a perfect model and there would need to be some iteration on how to get this to work properly, but if it was implemented it would allow for users to manage their highlighting with more ease, it could enable teachers to distribute scripture links and so forth in emails.
Some other considerations would need to be put in place:
- Multi-input (files with the same highlighting: eg concatenation, etc.)
- Data Validation
I have some more ideas about how to make this feature really nice.
Thanks!

"13": {
"tags": ["thrash", "commandments"],
"highlight": [{
"color": "red",
"start": 0,
"end": 15
}]
}
}
