Google-chrome – just wanna highlight some texts when use a browser to view local html

browsereditinggoogle-chromehtml

A lot of tutorials exist that can be downloaded from the Internet (with common file types: chm, pdf, html, etc.).

I discovered a problem: I downloaded a Java SE tutorial in HTML format, I use Chrome to view it, and everything works well. However, I want to directly highlight some useful text when I use Chrome to view it.

The HTML files are local, and I know that I could use some software to edit it by adding new tags / styles to the text, but I just want to highlight the text directly in the browser like editing it in Word. Any suggestions? Does Chrome have a plugin to enable this behavior?

As a workaround for now, I use Evernote Web Clipper for Chrome. It can cut the pages and upload them to Evernote. When I use an Evernote client to read them, I can directly highlight some words which are useful to me.

There is a lot of plugins for highlighting web pages out there.

You could try Yawas wich does exactly what you seem to look for (highlighting on pages inside of Chrome). While installed you have to edit its settings to store locally the highlights, otherwise it will store them in Google Bookmarks.

You could search for 'highlight' in Chrome Web Store for some further choices, I think there is a bunch of other solutions there.
