Overview

A smart highlighter for the easily distracted reader. Program it to auto highlight text in different colors and styles.

I created this extension to highlight important names in different colors and append notes to them that i could easily mouse over to view when reading web novels. I later found that the tool was useful for more than just web novels. --------------------------------------- How to use: Highlight text, right click, and choose the "Smart Highlight" option. You can quick select an existing template from the context menu, you can override some values if the highlighted text already has a template applied to it, or you can open the highlight window for more customization options or if this is your first highlight and you have not yet created any templates. But wait, there is more, once you open the highlight window you can click on "Show Advance" for even more customization. The highlights are saved and will be reapplied whenever you are back on that site, or part of that site depending on how you configured your highlights. If you click on the extension icon on the top right corner of your browser there will be some additional options, including options to highlight single and double quoted text, and a link to the settings page where you can manage your templates and highlights.
