What would be the way/task to highlight /annotate text from a variable span of characters to be decided by the annotator?

I am seeking to annotate text at a character level, i.e. I want the annotator to select from a given character to another one (this may include from '.T' to 'I want to mark this whole phrase.'. Is it possible to do this pdf-highlight-like annotation in prodi.gy?

Thanks!

Hi! That's definitely possible by setting the --highlight-chars flag on ner.manual :slightly_smiling_face: Also see the docs on character-based highlighting: https://prodi.gy/docs/named-entity-recognition#highlight-chars
