- Rated 5 out of 5by alucioso, 5 years agoThank you very much! Thank god there's a simple web extension addon to highlight text in web pages (until a proper one appears).
A tool to highlight is the simplest thing to do: insert "span background-color:#FFFF00 ..", but you can't find an editor/addon to do just this.
Almost all of them can't edit previous saves, and if one does you must do things its way (no guarantees).
Tested this with pages saved with SingleFile and worked! - Rated 5 out of 5by ergonomic-cat, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by girl921, 7 years agoDoes what I need it to. I wish it only took one click instead of 2 to highlight something tho, and I wish there was a clear highlighting option.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoClick right mouse button or equivalent while cursor is over a highlighted passage. There should be a menu item that says "This highlighted passage...", with options for your choice of modifying (basically changing the colors) or removing the highlight.
I had to make this a separate menu from the add-on's own context menu because WebExtensions API doesn't offer a SelectorContext for context menus. HTML does, so I got devious and told my content script to attach such a menu to each highlighted element.
