A computer-implemented method of automatically highlighting linked-to document sections for increased readability, comprising: retrieving a linked-to tag in a hypertext document being rendered in response to the linked-to tag being selected; determining hierarchical rank of the linked-to tag in relation to a hierarchy of tags in the hypertext document; retrieving next tag appearing after said linked-to tag in the hypertext document and having hierarchical rank equal to or greater than the hierarchical rank of the linked-to tag; and highlighting display section from beginning of said linked-to tag to beginning of said next tag in the hypertext document having hierarchical rank equal to or greater than the hierarchical rank of the linked-to tag, wherein the hypertext document is a standard hypertext document rendered by one or more browsers, said linked-to tag, said next tag, and said hierarchy of tags are standard tags used in said standard hypertext document to identify one or more different sections within said standard hypertext document, and no special tags are needed in the hypertext document to highlight linked-to document sections.
