Providing an identifier for presenting content at a selected position

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for generating an identifier that identifies a specific position within content. For example, at least a portion of content may be presented in a manner such that any position within the presented content can be selected, such as a specific word or line of text content. A selection may be received indicating a position within the content, where the selection corresponds to a request to generate an identifier that identifies the selected position. In response, an identifier may be generated that includes information identifying the content and the position within the content, such that selection of the identifier causes presentation of a representation of the content at the given position.
