NIP-84
Highlights
draft
optional
author:pablof7z
This NIP defines kind:9802
, a "highlight" event, to signal content a user finds valuable.
Format
The .content
of these events is the highlighted portion of the text.
.content
might be empty for highlights of non-text based media (e.g. NIP-94 audio/video).
References
Events SHOULD tag the source of the highlight, whether nostr-native or not.
a
or e
tags should be used for nostr events and r
tags for URLs.
When tagging a URL, clients generating these events SHOULD do a best effort of cleaning the URL from trackers or obvious non-useful information from the query string.
Attribution
Clients MAY include one or more p
tags, tagging the original authors of the material being highlighted; this is particularly
useful when highlighting non-nostr content for which the client might be able to get a nostr pubkey somehow
(e.g. prompting the user or reading a <meta name="nostr:nprofile1..." />
tag on the document). A role MAY be included as the
last value of the tag.
[ "p", "...", "author" ],
[ "p", "...", "author" ],
[ "p", "...", "editor" ],
Context
Clients MAY include a context
tag, useful when the highlight is a subset of a paragraph and displaying the
surrounding content might be beneficial to give context to the higlight.
Ranges
Clients MAY include range
tags with the start/end indexes of where the highlight begins and finishes within
the referenced article/tagged-event.
[ "range", <start-index>, <end-index> ]
Additionally a range with context
as the third value of the tag MAY be added to indicate the begin/finish indexes
of the highlight within the included context
tag.
[ "range", <start-index>, <end-index>, "context" ]
Text-based nostr events' highlights
Highlights of Nostr events SHOULD use the range index of the content as-is (e.g. NIP-23 articles include the markdown instead of computing the index from the rendered markdown).
[ "range", 3000, 3042 ] # highlight begins at index position 3000 of the tagged event's `.content`
[ "range", 42, 84, "context" ] # highlight begins at index position 42 of the `context` tag's value
Non-text-based nostr events' highlights
A kind:9802
event that tags a NIP-94 event which includes a video or audio file can use ranges to
indicate the start/end time position in seconds.
Ranges in URL highlights
When creating a highlight from a URL the range should be expressed over the extracted plain text of the formatted content (e.g. rendered HTML instead of including the HTML markup); this helps make finding the correct indexes easier on websites with markup variations on each render.
e.g. <html><body>hello, world</body></html>
Tagging hello, world
would result in using a range tag like ["range", 0, 12 ]
.
Text extraction (i.e. translation from non-plain text medium like HTML or PDF) is highly subjective and the value of the range should be carefully interpreted by the different clients that support this.
