> It is often hard to tell which annotation is selected.  For example, when you click on an annotation in the outline, nothing changes in the text pane.  This can be very disorienting if you have many annotations of the same type close together.  Some visual cue would be very helpful.  The default behavior in knowtator is to draw black lines above and below the span of the selected annotation.  Another provided option is to fade out all of the other annotations leaving only the selected annotation a bright color.  (I like the former better).  
> Additionally, it would be nice if the annotations related via type features to the selected annotation could be visualized in the text pane.  Knowtator does this by drawing dashed lines above and below the annotations that are related to the selected annotation.
