I wish I could read Wikipedia like this

Very true. I got a rough POC of this, implemented using the technique in this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22816419/11208

(just with divs instead of images)

It's very brittle though. It relies on knowing the line-height, calculating the line in which the highlighted word sits, accounting for the existence of vertical scroll-bars... not trivial.

Ah, that was surprisingly easy: http://jsfiddle.net/5p92U/

Or am I missing something?

Edit: Yes, I do. It does not work together with images on the right side: http://jsfiddle.net/Nup2F/
