Seeking markup tool for saved webpages

I want to save web pages with text which I have highlighted. Is
there a tool I can use to do this?

---

I could save the web page to my hard drive, then load it into a
WYSIWYG html editor in order to add the highlighting.

But this involves an extra step with an editor and unless the html
editor was simplicity itself (which editor?) then it would complicate
things.

---

It would be much nicer if I could:

(a) see the web page in Opera,
(b) highlight several sentences or paragraphs I wanted to pick out
(c) save the web page to my hard drive complete with my highlighting

The highlighting is a display thing, and cannot be saved in any program
I know of.

The only way I can see is to do a screen dump, which saves a picture of
the current screen.
But that is a picture, so you cannot do anything with text afterwards,
like editing or anything.
(unless you use an OCR program to retreive the text from the picture)

If you want to change that picture you need a paint program.

It depends on what you want to use the saved material for. If just
looking at it is enough you can use the screen dump method.

Some HTML editors are quite easy to use, but I don't know which to
recommend. Or, depending how you want to use the file afterwards, I
believe there are tools to convert to PDF, for instance with a printer
driver that outputs PDF instead of paper, and then tools to highlight
in a PDF.

it, and you can also add your notes to the pages:

May be Cogitum Co-Citer ?
It is a tool for creating collections of texts from the Internet. It
automatically captures the selected text, its Internet address, its
title and date of adding to the database.
Works with IE only.
