See Below.

I do that so that I can respond to questions and statements in a structured way. Most of nostr is clinging to a twitter mindset where notes are one or two sentences long. I have hopes that nostr will grow beyond that kind of limited thinking and allow very salient in-line discussions. >A tagged event already provides the quoted text in a far superior/structured way The tags help the clients to construct the threads; but the tags do not help the reader understand which part of a note the responder is referring to. Again, the twitter mindset is a tough habit to break; but one that I think we should break as soon as possible. > >This looks broken image I agree that it looks broken. Looks are the responsibility of the client.

You can perfectly do that and in fact you could argue that’s one use case of highlighter.com; I see myself doing that to pull out specific things to reply to on kind 1s. But including the whole content you’re replying to embedded in the content looks bad and breaks the structured data formatting of nostr events (increases parsing complexity/ambiguity). Why not create specific event kind:1 tagging the content you’re replying to and allow threading to do its magic?
