I find myself highlighting more text than I want to highlight, just because I want to capture the context in which the "meat" of the highlight appears, when I view highlights later in My Bookmarks or in a search.
Yes, I could go back to the original page and find the highlight, but that's slow and the page may have changed and may not be cached.
I suggest. on pages like My Bookmarks, a toggle button that turns on/off viewing of a bit of text before & after each highlight The "bit of text" could be a sentence or paragraph, or the heading above.
> before & after each highlight > The "bit of text" could be a sentence or paragraph, or the heading above.
Extending the suggestion, a little:
1. If the highlight and its textual context are not directly adjacent - maybe there's a (non-text) diagram in between - I suspect that it would be good to not make an association between non-adjacent texts
- better to keep it logical, than to guess a context that may be false
- agreed?
2. if the highlight is preceded by a table, that table should not be presented (toggled into view) as context
- the words from the tail (only) of a table could be confusing if presented in isolation, without their columns

Nice ideas.

Borrowing from another topic: if Virtuoso Sponger, or something like it, could for example generate
>> RDF Linked Data from non-RDF data sources, unobtrusively
then would you like that type of 'linked data' to be presented alongside the more 'obvious' context?
(Am I making sense?)
