What the OP want is writing personnal annotations in the (info) file. Not in the annotations of bookmark, like that you can keep reading your file with your personnal annotations added in different places. Uh-huh. And how is what I am saying to him different from what your original response said to him??? >From ipa.el: ;;; Commentary: ;;; With this package you can add annotations to your files without ;;; modifying them. Each file can have multiple annotations at various ;;; buffer positions. The annotation texts are not parts of the files, ;;; they are stored separately. ;;; ;;; All annotations are stored in a common file, so searching ;;; annotations is trivial. This is what I suggested the original poster do using something that is already in GNU/Emacs. Eval it and try to bookmark it... No, Thierry, you eval it and read it, and I'd suggest doing `C-h m' (in a *Bookmark List* buffer) when you finally take the time to explore what it is that I am speaking of. Sorry for the harsh language, but, judging from the commentary of ipa.el, GNU/Emacs already does what you're suggesting the original poster do with it.
