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. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
