[[Introduction to Obsidian Web Clipper|Web Clipper]] lets you highlight text on web pages, and select the elements you want to save to Obsidian. Your highlights are saved, so you can revisit them when you return to a page.
Highlights can be [[Clip web pages|captured]] and saved to Obsidian when you open the extension.
## Turn on highlighter
You can turn on highlighting in several ways, depending on your browser:
- The highlighter icon in the extension panel.
- Hotkeys, to activate the extension from your keyboard.
- Context menu, by right-clicking the web page you are visiting.
Once highlighting is on, you can select text, images, and elements you want to highlight.
## Highlighter settings
You can change the highlighter behavior by going to Web Clipper settings. Here you can also export your highlights to a `.json` file.
There are three options for highlights to be inserted into your clipped note via the `{{content}}` [[Variables|variable]]:
- **Highlight the page content** — adds highlights directly to the text with the [[Obsidian Flavored Markdown|syntax]] `==highlight==`.
- **Replace the page content** — returns a list of highlights, without any of the page content.
- **Do nothing** — returns the original content without highlights.
You can add highlights directly to your template using the `{{highlights}}` variable, for example:
```
{{highlights|map: item => item.text|join:"\n\n"}}
```
