I'm here to inquire if two things are possible with note formatting (excuse any stupidity):

1. I would like to get rid of all location markers in the annotations (I only want text and notes). This doesn't seem possible in the 'Modify Appearance' dialogue. Is it possible?
You can try putting "display:none;" in the CSS for this. I don't know if that will work or not.

Not including it is a problem as contains information that is used when updating the annotation.

2. I'd like to prepend a text string before every 'Note' in the annotations? I played around with the CSS annotation element for Notes but couldn't manage it.
Do you mean you want something before each annotation if it is a "note" type? Or a text to indicate where the actual note starts to differentiate it from the highlighted text? Neither is possible at the moment and would need development (someway to configure it and then the code to handle it).

If it is the latter, the CSS is used to make the note and highlight part of the annotations different. I think I'd find extra words to be intrusive and not actually make things clearer. Exactly how to format it (bold, italics, size, same line? Hanging indent?) would also need to be thought about. And how much to make configurable. Or maybe a template that can be configured somewhere. I'm not sure of the best way, or if it is a good idea overall.
