Toggling side-by-side mode in a web page reflows the content. If the absolute scroll position stays the same, the logical position in the document will change and the user would have to scroll to find the content they were previously reading. To avoid this add logic which picks content in the viewport to use as a _scroll anchor_, before the document is resized. After the document is resized, the scroll position is changed so that the vertical position of the scroll anchor in the viewport is the same as before. This keeps most of the content on screen. The scroll anchor is currently chosen by picking the first _word_ (non-whitespace substring of a text node) which is visible in the viewport, represented as a DOM Range. This fine-grained scroll anchor is chosen rather than eg. just a DOM element, because long paragraphs may change in size substantially relative to the viewport after resizing the document, so just preserving the location of the paragraph element would not preserve the content that is on screen. - Add `preserveScrollPosition` helper in html-side-by-side.js which picks a scroll anchor, invokes a callback and then restores the position of the scroll anchor. - Make the HTML integration use `preserveScrollPosition` to preserve the scroll position after activating and de-activating side-by-side mode - Add helper functions in src/annotator/util/geometry for comparing DOMRect objects
