Annotations

An annotation is a comment attached to a specific
piece of text. In StoryMill, you can add annotations
to any rich text (such as notes areas and chapters,
but not plain text inputs like item names).

Like all other extended pieces of text in StoryMill,
annotations can contain richly formatted text,
images, and more.

To add an annotation:

Select some text.

Click the annotate button in the toolbar, choose

Text→Annotate, or hit ⌘D.

Enter a title for the annotation (optional; only useful in

chapters).

Hit tab or click in the text area of the annotation window and

enter your annotation.

To edit or view an annotation, click the linked text. You can hide all
annotation links using Text→Hide Annotation Marks or ⌃⌘D.

To remove an annotation, select the linked text or move your cursor
into it and click Remove Annotation in the toolbar, choose
Text→Remove Annotation, or hit ⇧⌘D.

Tip: Keep your hands on the keyboard! If your cursor is inside some linked text, just hit ⌘' (command-
apostrophe) or choose Text→View Annotation to see the annotation!
