proposal for SoK : text highlighter

[Karan Raghani]

Motivation:
    Web pages are collection of large amount of data. A user might want to
highlight some parts of the page to save both time and effort during the
next reading.
    To facilitate this ,I suggest a highlighter tool for konqueror. This
will mark text and phrases on the web page.

Main features

1) The tool highlights the text and saves the page as a bookmark.
2) It also creates a document with only the highlighted data and downloads
it in the appropiate format.
3) The highlighted text can be shared through social websites
4) Highlight can be done in various colours.

Plus if time permits

+ I would like to display these saved pages in tiles in the new tab page.

Tentative time line

+ By the end of November get familiar with the code base of konqueror.

+ By the end of December(the time I will be having mine semester exams)
create an efficient solution for the implementation of the goal.

+ 1st and 2nd week of January , implement the solution.

+ remaining time will be spend on cleaning up code and fixing the bugs and
adding few new features.
