@pratik wow … just shared that one with my partner who is on a lifelong mission to stop child trafficking … not run shelters, not raise funds to help survivors … but to actually stop it … at source.
I often use the analogy of puttting a fence at the top of a cliff .. not an ambulance on the beach … but this one … wow … she wanted a link immediately.
@toddgrotenhuis BTW how do I add that highlight to my Readwise?
@pratik I think I'm going to submit a feature request because I think there should be an "add somebody's shared quote to my quotes" feature, which would be better than these current options I am aware of:
1) Go to Supplemental Books and add the book. This will make the community highlights available....but it will make them all available, and it comes with the downside that they won't export (if you have an export enabled).
2) Use Freeform Import to add the book and just one quote from it
3) The old fashioned way of buying or borrowing it and doing your own highlight (obviously not what you were looking for :))
I was so taken with this - shared it with my partner - and she will be linking to your post for something she is writing ... in the course of a little research to unpack the real source - I found this.
@JohnPhilpin Thanks for locating this. Wish we had a definite source but it seems, like the comments suggest, to be from an oral tradition
@toddgrotenhuis One more quick Q on Readwise. From your blog post.
A common pattern is to call out a Part as heading level 1, a Chapter as heading level 2, and a Section as heading level 3.
Where do you add this in a highlight? I assume Document Tags or in the Tags? So just add .h1 there?
Also, surprised that there's no way to directly go to the article from Readwise 🤔
@pratik it’s a note (tag) directly on the heading that you want to officially make a heading. So I’d highlight “Chapter 1” and add the note “.h1” to it. It gets parsed as a heading rather than a quote of “Chapter 1”.
@toddgrotenhuis BTW that quote is not available in the book when I looked it up in the Supplemental Books.
@pratik re: going to the article.
I wonder if this is due to the fact sites can change? I believe in the new Reader experience the whole article is saved, so you have it that way.
@pratik weird!! I am going to submit a request about that. Sometimes there are different versions of a book so maybe it’s a different one? Either way I’m curious.
@toddgrotenhuis Ah! So this is done when you are highlighting a book and not later. When I export highlights from Libby in CSV format, it includes the chapter number and if I recall, even the page number as separate columns.
@pratik right, re: during not later. I’m hoping this is something they can change as it’s one feature I find a little better picky/buggy.
