Can you add a highlight without adding to the story?

Yes, you can use formatting tools like bold or italicize specific parts of the existing text to create a highlight without actually adding new content to the story.

One way is to emphasize existing elements through unique formatting. For example, italicize key phrases or put important parts in a different font size. This catches the reader's attention without adding to the plot.

You could use visual elements like bold colors or unique patterns that stand out but don't contribute to the story itself.

Another approach could be using a highlighting pen or marker on a printed copy if it's a physical document. But this is a very traditional method. If it's a digital file, perhaps use a dedicated highlighting tool that has an option to keep the highlights in a separate layer or file. For example, some PDF readers allow you to highlight text and save those highlights separately from the actual PDF content which represents the'story'.

Yes. Posting a highlight alone can be useful if it's a self-contained, significant event or aspect that doesn't need more story elements to make sense.

Yes, you can. You could focus on emphasizing an existing key moment or aspect within the story without adding new elements.

I don't think it's possible. A highlight usually involves emphasizing or featuring certain parts of the story, and that kind of selection can feel like an addition in a way.

First, check if your document viewer has a highlighting function. If it does, look for an option like 'Highlight as Separate Entity' or something similar. In some PDF viewers, you can right - click on the text you want to highlight and select an option that says 'Highlight for Reference Only'. This will create a highlight that is not added to the main story.

Yes, you can. A story highlight can focus on existing elements without adding new ones.

Sure. There are tools that enable this. Consider a PDF reader. You can highlight text within a PDF without having to add it to a story. The highlighting feature is mainly for emphasizing important parts, and it doesn't necessarily have to be part of a story. You just need to look for the highlighting option in the relevant application.
