<title>User Annotation</title>
1392
Many users wish to make personal annotations on individual verses, without the need to put a full "personal commentary" module
1393
to use. <application>Xiphos</application> provides this in the right-click context menu in the Bible pane.
1394
This brings up a dialog showing the current verse reference and offering a text box into which to enter a brief personal note.
1395
Once the user closes the dialog with "Mark," the verse will be displayed in reverse-highlight (default, blue on yellow) and a
1396
marker <guibutton>*u</guibutton> will be inserted at the verse's beginning. This is metaphorically similar for users who mark
1397
verses in paper Bibles with a yellow highlighter and write personal notes in the margins.
1400
Selecting an already-annotated verse will (in the usual case) bring up the existing content for re-editing. An
1401
already-annotated verse can be unmarked; the verse will cease to show in reverse-highlight.
1404
If the user deletes the module name from the reference at the top of the dialog, then the annotation will apply to any Bible
1405
module at the selected verse. However, in this case, re-selecting the annotated verse will not initialize with the existing
1406
content, because the dialog is created based on the specific module reference.

Any verses shown in reverse-highlight have personal annotation associated with them, and such verses will include

<guibutton>*u</guibutton> at the beginning of the verse. Hovering on this marker will show the annotation in the previewer, just as
1487
for publisher's footnotes.
