Just something for you to consider.

Right, I thought it might be due to the EPUB's malformatting – but then, I would recommend avoiding the use of such a malformatted EPUB file as the only file at the hands of which a user can test Hyphen's functionality in the free "preview" version. It would be best for Hyphen to "pre-install" a preview EPUB file (or a set of EPUB files) in which all the (very nice) Hyphen features work as expected.
Great points! I'll keep them in mind.

The italicized me in the second version of the sentence makes all the difference. Other formatting measures, such as bold, enlarged or smaller font sizes, etc., might perform a similar function, heavily influencing the meaning of the highlight being exported. Therefore, the more of the original formatting of a highlight can be preserved while exporting an annotation, the better. If all of it could be preserved – well, that would just be perfect.
Ah, I see, thanks for sharing. This poses its own technical challenges, but I'll definitely add it to my noteboard.
