\comment
Summary
The instances of \comment create PDF annotations: little balloon or text icons that one can click to reveal the comment.

Description
There is also an environment form: \startcomment
These comments don’t mark any content, therefore it makes sense to move them into the margin.
\setupcomment[ author=Editor, color=pdfhighlight:Editor, location=rightmargin, symbol=Comment, ]
Examples
text markup comments
So far, text markup annotations (like a text marker with or without a comment) weren’t possible. In 2024-09 we got \PDFhighlight:
\setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[backend.pdf.fixhighlight] \definecolor[pdfhighlight:Hraban][r=.8,g=1,b=1] \definecolor[pdfhighlight:Hans] [r=1,g=.8,b=1] \definecolor[pdfhighlight:Ton] [r=1,g=1,b=.8] \starttext test \PDFhighlight[Hraban][My comment]{\samplefile{tufte}} test \blank test \PDFhighlight[Hans]{what a mess} test \page test \PDFhighlight[Ton][I would prefer the other one.]{\samplefile{ward}} test \page \stoptext
The directive backend.pdf.fixhighlight works around an error in PDF viewer implementations (esp. Adobe’s) that exchanged the coordinates of two corners of the highlight box, contradicting the PDF specifications. Most PDF viewers (that show annotations at all) can cope with the “fixed wrong” version, only a few adhere to the specs.
