Commenting and annotating¶
Danger
This is an experimental feature that may change quickly!
If you’re interested in trying this out, we recommend using the master branch
version of Jupyter Book.
You can add functionality for web commenting and annotating through a number of web services and tools. These allow readers of your book to share conversations, ideas and questions in a centralized location. It is useful for classes, communities of practice, asking for user feedback, etc.
Currently, these commenting engines are supported:
Hypothesis provides a web overlay that allows you to annotate and comment collaboratively.
utterances is a web commenting system that uses GitHub Issues to store and manage comments.
Note
Jupyter Book uses the sphinx-comments Sphinx extension for this functionality.
