html
I would like to add annotations (such as underlines, text comment, circle or square a text region, …) to downloaded html files. Is there some WYSIWYG html annotation tool (for Linux) for that purpose?
Not sure if browsers can.
Chrome web browser seems not able to? Not sure about Firefox.
Not sure if non-browsers can.
Thanks.
I think you will get what you want with w3 (http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/w3.html). It's an emacs web browser in lisp. It still looks like a web-page rendered in emacs...
lynx has a "dump" mode, which you can use with watch:
$ watch lynx https://www.google.com -dump
From man lynx:
-dump dumps the formatted output of the default document or those
specified on the command line to standard output. Unlike
interactive mode, all documents are processed. This can be used
in the following way:
lynx -dump http://www.subir.com/lynx.html
Files specified on the command line are formatted as HTML if
their names end with one of the standard web suffixes such as
“.htm” or “.html”. Use the -force_html option to format files
whose names do not follow this convention.
This Ask Ubuntu question has many more options.

That depends on what you want to do with the result.
If the document needs to stay in HTML format, you would need to use a general HTML editor, I do not think there are HTML editors specialized to annotations.
In case a solution that does not output HTML can solve your problem,
you could import the HTML to a word processor, like Libreoffice Writer, and annotate that document.
