Greetings,
appendMarkup() does work. I just tested it. Thank you for that!
However, I'll be using Austin's approach because it allows in-place
updating.
Consider this as a request for Feature 76 please. I've added a comment
there on adding replaceMarkup function as well. As a short aside, I
personally vote for the maximum expressive power inside of the blips.
I'll expand on this in another post.
Also, do you have any word on the annotation documentation? Is it out
there anywhere?
Thank you so very much for all of your help!
