    In the new sidebar under 'this URL' we can select 'annotations'.
    In the demo video it shows the annotations with wordWrapping so that you can
    see your entire annotation however in my sidebar I see only one line per
    annotation.(Firefox and IE) Is there any way to get it to wordWrap?

    Thanks for your suggestion!

    The single line annotations displayed in sidebar serve as an outline. We will soon provide a way to view entire annotation content in sidebar, too, possibly using a mouse over panel.

    Great! Maybe an option to permanently keep wordWrapping?
    The reason being that it's easy to quickly see the highlights by and jumping to them by scrolling
    on the screen. The beauty of having the annotations in one place is that we can quickly read all of the highlights THEN jump to them if we need to. I know we can extract highlights with the button which is handy but it would be nice not to have to do that on every bookmark we visit. Cool, rock on diigo!

    How's it coming with this?
    Since you've already got the code, you may also want to consider implementing an AJAX fold-down like you are already using in the expand/collapse annotations in the bookmarks page.(except use
    a tiny "+" for expand). This way people like me who like a quick overview of all highlights
    can 'expand all' and skim through them. If a person just wanted to use the sidebar to jump
    to an annotation they could simply click on it as you have now. (or click the individual "+" to expand
    it.

    Hi guys, any progress on this?
    I think this is fairly easy to do and would be quite useful.
    I'm also a programmer so if you want some help or want me to
    implement it let me know.
