Note sequence and tags #75

Open bjg83 opened 8 months ago

bjg83 commented 8 months ago

I've noticed that highlight sequencing is random, rather than chronological -- meaning that sometimes highlights from the same page appear out of order.

I've also noticed that tags don't seem to come across properly. So using the ".h1" tag from Readwise for a heading is not rendered properly as a tag and, hence, also not as a heading.

One cause of this seems to be that page numbers can be wrong (e.g. I have a case of highlight on p82 turning up in Readwise as p81, and thus under the wrong heading)

I'm also experiencing this issue. For me, I'm not sure if the page numbers are wrong. Readwise doesn't keep an order apart from what is specified as the location as far as I'm aware, so if it's just the page number, then they can appear in any order. One way around this is to add some sort of sequence number, but it may conflict with the page numbers. Perhaps we should make it an option for the user?
