I want to attach a commnet to a specific paragraph of the page.

I guess I could just have a comment macro :

bla bla weblogic bla sucks bla , bla bla

{comment:zohar}
weblogic is not to bad actualy...{comment}

bla bla jboss bla sucks bla

we can then have a display/hide comments action , and thy will appear in situ on the page....

the rendering for the comment s can include a title and the userr name commenting . for nice comment rendering :

Good idea but not a renderer issue, updating component.

The issue that I reported (~~CONF-6403~~) is similar to this. However, we do not want to have to go into edit mode for the page in order to add the comment. Instead, we want a way to highlight an area on a viewable page, click a Comment link, and have the comment appear to the side of the highlighted paragraph.

Sometimes reviewers want to comment on a specific portion of a document, but do not feel comfortable editing the content of the document itself in order to add that comment.

Hi guys,

I saw a neat implementation of this today for the WordPress weblog software, which basically provides EXACTLY what I (and Jim, I gather) are looking for here:

http://www.jackslocum.com/yui/2006/10/09/my-wordpress-comments-system-built-with-yahoo-ui-and-yahooext/

Comments can be appended to blocks of text, images, title, etc by clicking on a vertical "bar" on the left of the page, which brings up a floating comment box. (all without having to edit the page)

Something like this would be amazing in Confluence!

Where does this feature stand? Traction Software has had it for years, and it continues to stand as a key differentiator between these two Enterprise Wiki products.

What is the position/status of this feature request. I believe other wiki and collaboration products have it and it is something we sorely miss in our current use of confluence at work.

I agree that this feature is needed.

This feature is highly desirable in an academic setting such as our own (using a wiki for collaborative editing of manuscripts). Page level comments are just too "far away" from the reference to be of use, and footnotes are too clumsy. For another implementation of this in WordPress, see http://www.futureofthebook.org/commentpress/
