Allow highlight/annotate on clipped web pages

[Alex Jay 1]

It is possible to clip an entire webpage, but to highlight or annotate them it's necessary to convert it to an editable form. This breaks the format and doesn't prevent changes.

Highlighting or editing means changing the web site. To allow this, it needs to be simplified. We can’t expect EN to create an editor for web sites that duplicates all the different editors out there, starting with WordPress and covering all the other CMS tools. Simplifying the site is necessary to make the editor work.

If you want to keep the original, duplicate the note with the clipped content, and simplify the copy,

That depends on how you want to define it. PDF/Ebook readers or Web annotators allow highlighting and it's not considered "changing" the original material as they are kept separately from the original content.

If you refer to the current implementation you are correct, as it doesn't allow highlighting without editing. I'm just pointing out that it need not be that way (as highlighting is implemented without "editing" functionality in other softwares).
