Ability to Comment on Specific Lines of Literatue Deviations or Quote Original Text

~LationTheLatios Nov 20, 2012

I think it would be quite useful if while reading a literature work on da, it would be possible to post a comment that is linked to a specific section of the work or possibly a quoting feature to reprint some of the original without retyping it yourself. This would make it easier to comment about specific points in a story, or clearly notify the author of an error.

I like this feature for critiques. Last time I checked we still can't copy/paste when the critique screen pops up.

It would be interesting if it was like MS Word, I suppose, but there are ways around that already, even if it is a bit cumbersome.

You can copy/paste and use the blockquote feature to do this I suppose. Or an inline line number being shown and referring to that.
I hope they could edit the comments features in the film/animation to show those comments in those sections as well. An option to show them alongside other ones, rather than going through scrobbling to find them.

I hope not, because they might add the same thing to images afterwards... a bit like how facebook's tagging works except it'd be a comment only... No thanks for me.

Although there is the obvious copy-and-paste option, I think similar to film deviations, perhaps selecting a line number of having a nice way to use HTMl to quote, would be a lovely addition for literature deviations.

Select text. Ctrl C. Click into text field. Ctrl P. Put brackets or italics or whatever around the text. Comment at will.

lol I think you meant Ctrl V.

Probably

That would be interesting.

You can select text in a lit deviation with your cursor and just copy/paste it into your own comment, then either put quote marks around it or style it, like this, like this, or in a <blockquote>.
