Editor with Synchronized Comments Page?

(1/4) > >>

Was titled: "Editor w. Facing Pages: Text Left, Commentray Right (?)"

I'm sure this must exist, but my search fu didnt find it:

Looking for an editor where I can view two facing pages, just as if I were reading a book.
If I write, or paste, a longer text in, I want it to show only on one side (ideally I could choose which side). I then want to be able to comment/annotate on the other side, i.e. the facing page.


* Would need to be able to export, or save to a file format that can be read elsewhere
* Ideally unicode
* Just text would be okay, but formatting would be nice

wraith808:
So you're not really looking for an editor with facing pages.  You're looking for an editor with a synchronized comments page?

Yes :up:
(will edit thread title)

wraith808:
Is it necessary that it have a contiguous page?  i.e. can comments be associated with the text that you're actually editing rather than be a page?

For what I have in mind, yes, I would need the full page.
If you have other suggestions though, throw them out there.

I could always do it manually: page-break; blank page for commentary; page-break; etc.
Just thought something like this would exist, but maybe not.

Another option might be some layout programme: but they generally have a steep learning curve...
