What we don't have is simple annotations. I use inlinetasks for annotations yet these are clumsy, as we have seen. What the notation for annotations should be I leave to others, especially those that might implement something. However, it should allow for hiding of annotations while editing an org buffer, it should be possible to list all annotations (sparse tree functionality), to jump from one to the next and it should provide the hooks for exporting in various ways, with customisable formatting. Just my 2=C2=A2 worth. Thanks, eric --=20 : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.1, Org release_8.3beta-1147-g0e5= 069.dirty
