One of the nice things about Xournalpp is that is just plain XML (the save file). So its really just plaintext, I don't have to bother with reading hundreds of pages of PDF spec to try and write a reader in the future. If I needed to, I only need to write an application capable of rendering a PDF page, then drawing text/lines as described by the XML. Assuming libraries to render the PDF will continue to exist in this theoretical future we're describing here. <stroke tool="highlighter" color="#00ff007f" width="7.86" fill="60" capStyle="butt">254.802 713.98302 283.955 713.98302</stroke> <stroke tool="highlighter" color="#00ff007f" width="9" fill="60" capStyle="butt">283.955 714.01302 539.992 714.01302</stroke> <stroke tool="highlighter" color="#00ff007f" width="0" fill="60" capStyle="butt">539.992 718.51302 539.992 718.51302</stroke> <text font="Sans" size="8" x="456.87471" y="427.46622" color="#ff0000ff" ts="0" fn="">Here the first capture group is `([\"'])`, which captures either a `"` or a `'`.
