Inlining a node for a comment plugin or best to use marks?

3

Thank you for the feedback marijn. I will try with references to ranges outside the document.

One downside is that it could be a bit trickier to preserving comments when users copy to clipboard (Although I don’t know if my organisation needs this functionality anyway).

I think I can use the transaction mapping to update the references as the document is modified.

state: {
      apply(transaction, currentValue, oldState, newState) {
        comments.forEach(comment => {
          comment.from = transaction.mapping.map(comment.from);
          comment.to = transaction.mapping.map(comment.to);
        })
      }
    }

Just a bit of background. We are building a text editor for highly structured pharmaceutical data. Hopefully can come back and show it off once it is done!

Thanks
