// ==UserScript==

// @name           Kindlehighlights
// @namespace      kindlehighlights
// @include        https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights*
// ==/UserScript==

var $;

// Add jQuery
(function(){

   if (typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined') {

           var GM_Head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.documentElement,

                   GM_JQ = document.createElement('script');

           GM_JQ.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js';

           GM_JQ.type = 'text/javascript';
           GM_JQ.async = true;

           GM_Head.insertBefore(GM_JQ, GM_Head.firstChild);
   }

   GM_wait();
})();

// Check if jQuery's loaded
function GM_wait() {

   if (typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined') {

           window.setTimeout(GM_wait, 100);
   } else {

           $ = unsafeWindow.jQuery.noConflict(true);
           letsJQuery();

   }
}

// All your GM code must be inside this function
function letsJQuery() {
   var title = "";

   var highlightsArray = new Array();

   $("#allHighlightedBooks").each(function()

   {
           // get the title of the book
                title = $(this).find("span[class='title'] > a").text();

      
           // list all highlights
                $(this).find("div[class='highlightRow yourHighlight'] > span[class='highlight']").each(function()

           {
                   highlightsArray.push("<img src='http://www.ewebmarketing.com.au/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/images/layout/open-quote-icon.jpg' width='16px'> "+$(this).text()+" <img src='http://www.ewebmarketing.com.au/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/images/layout/close-quote-icon.jpg' width='16px'>");

           });
   });

   $("#allHighlightedBooks").html("<hr/><h1>"+title+"</h1><br/>"+highlightsArray.join("<br/><br/>")+"<br/><br/><hr/>");

}
