The Creative Independent let's editors highlight certain passages to draw attention. It's a really nicely-scoped annotation feature -- easy to understand what is happening for both the audience and different editors, without going down a rabbit-hole of pull-quote or formatting options. It also opens up the possibility of doing other things with those highlights.

I made an example of how to nest CSS grid with fixed headers. There's an absolute positioning trick to make sure the scrollable section takes up the available space without going over. I end up using this pattern with React components a lot.
