#1417 Export Notes Template includes Color of Highlight.

[jameskatt]

Currently, the export notes text template has output as follows:

---

• Highlight, page 1
  Copper

• Highlight, page 1
  Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element

---

It would be highly useful if the exports notes text template also included the color of the highlight, e.g. as an RBG number or even Hex number For example: My Pink highlight color is RGB 255, 192, 255. or in Hex: FFC0FF. My Light Blue highlight color is RGB 157, 244, 255 or in Hex: 9DF4FF.

Highlighting in colors allows me to organize the notes hierarchically by color. Pink = headline, Blue = important term, Yellow = body of note, etc.

So having the colors exported would more easily allow me to organize the Skim exported notes as an outline.

For example, the output can be:

---

• Highlight [255,192,255], page 1
  Copper

• Highlight [157, 244, 255], page 1
  Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element

---

If the ability to add the highlight color is already present, please clarify this in the Wiki/Templates.

Thank you very much for the work you do, and for Skim.

Best,
James

You could perhaps use <$color.accessibilityValue/>, or <$color.redComponent/> etc. Though these give components as real values between 0 and 1 rather than hex values between 0 and 255.
