// Creates a PublicLab.org research note draft based on the selected text.

//Bookmarklet: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='http://publiclab.org/research-notify.js';})()

//Nice tips on jquery inclusion etc here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/05/23/make-your-own-bookmarklets-with-jquery/

/*
To-do:

* make it check if there's already text selected
* get the HTML (or at least preserve spaces and links somehow -- remember Markdown can do HTML)
* preserve images
