This is a type used in Stencila Schema for annotated inline content.

It extends Mark to attach structured authorship and provenance-aware commentary to a span of content, rather than relying only on presentational markup. This makes annotations useful in collaborative and review-oriented document workflows.

Key properties include annotation, together with inherited metadata and provenance features from Mark.

Analogues

The following external types, elements, or nodes are similar to a Annotation:

HTML <mark>: Approximate HTML analogue for highlighted or annotated spans, though Stencila Annotation additionally stores attached block content as the annotation itself.

JATS <annotation>: Close JATS analogue for attached annotation content.

Pandoc Span: Closest Pandoc inline container analogue, but annotations there are usually conveyed via attributes rather than a dedicated node with block annotation content.
