Notes on texts
Annotations are notes or comments added to a text, image, or other document to explain, clarify, or critique.
Scholars annotate manuscripts; programmers annotate code; readers annotate books with marginalia.
In computing, annotations are metadata that provide information to compilers or frameworks without changing program behavior.
The professor's annotations filled every margin of the essay.
