[Yuu-Han]

Libraries for highlighting user selection.

• Rangy
  • Highlight module demo
• Texthighlighter
  • Simple demo
• Web-highlighter (need npm)

The page of the texthighlighter demo looks a bit nicer, but Rangy also has annotation, which is useful.

Using a npm package might cause issues further down the line, so we may want to avoid it.

I would say both Rangy and Texthighlighter provide the basic functions we need. Maybe it would come down to how easy to use them and how robust they are.

Current implementation does not show the highlight after it is created.

Try the highlight library.
