Highlights or annotations are not visible in Telegra.ph

After a highlight is created, it disappears from the page.

Example:

I guess any telegra.ph article will be like that.

It looks like this page includes some version of Quill on it. Whenever Hypothesis tries to insert a highlight on the page, the paragraph gets "sanitized" and only certain elements are retained afterwards (eg. <b> is allowed but <mark> is not).

@robertknight Thanks for the analysis. Do you have any ideas on how to work this out?

In short, you need to get a copy of the page without JavaScript. The dumbest solution is to print/export the page to a PDF and annotate that. Ideally we'd have a built-in way to do this with Hypothesis.

Well, under solution I didn't mean solving my issue in particular. Instead, I was thinking about a way to get it working on telegra.ph by fixing something in Hypothesis. I think it might be important because it's a publication platform used by many.

Speaking of my specific situation and PDF. A funny thing is that a PDF - is what I had initially, but Hypothesis didn't want to work with it. I don't remember the precise error message tho, maybe it was due to its local path. So I spent an hour copy-pasting the article, paragraph after paragraph to this telegraph publication. To finally discover that Hypothesis won't work. Meh. Unlucky me.

Let me check if I can use a local PDF one more time.

Nevermind, I should have read the message, haha. It clearly says I should have clicked this nice link: https://web.hypothes.is/help/annotating-locally-saved-pdfs/#2-change-your-settings-in-chrome-if-applicable

Still, I think it would be great to get Hypothesis working in all telegra.ph pages.
