I think I wanted just unique id's per definition including all included definitions.
;=) But given that is 1-2 years ago, I might be confused ;=)

At least I think in our current code it is that way, that we build a unique id per
highlighting (including all included ones).

After inspecting the code, I think the issue is, that we need the global unique id,
as the inclusion works differently than in our code and the formats are not duplicated
into the definition that includes an other one.

That makes it harder to get a per highlighting vector, as we would need one that includes
all included formats, too.

But perhaps I misread the code.

Greetings
Christoph
