[gentoo-user] [OT] annotate html pages

[Harry Putnam]

Sorry for the OT but as many here know this is the place to get quick
pointers to other related or semi-related material since there are
many experts and near experts here.

Ok, enough smoke blown... now:

I have some text books on CD that are in html.  I'd like to annotate
as I read, much like writing in the margins of real books.

This is such an obvious good idea I'm pretty sure its been done and
there are tools available.

I can muddle thru this by hand with targets and anchors and the like
and do have some bare minimum html skills.  But the time it would take
me would pretty much nullify the utility of it.

Plus, I'm thinking someone has put together a tool that can hold an
html frame of a book page and a couple inches at the bottom of the
browser screen where one can enter text much like any text editor
except this text editor has a switch or button that creates a link at
the relevent paragraph or page being read.

All the while the book appears as rendered html.  And doesn't have to
be switched to source and back or something distracting.
