Semantically, it seems like using the <ref> and {{cite}} markup found in Wikipedia would be a better fit, although it won't preserve the appearance of the PDF document.

Hi everybody!
I'm in the process of manually converting a number PDF documents to wiki pages. The work is mostly straightforward copy&paste.
There is one feature of the original PDFs document however that is hard to convert.
To simplify the issue, imagine that document has a two columns layout, one column quite wide and the other, much narrower (say 85%/15%) width.
The wide column is full of normal text with some structure (i.e. sections, paragraph and lists). The narrow column has small sparse notes (i.e. dates and people's names) that relate to specific lines of text in the wide column: in the PDF a note is at the same height as the line of text it relates to.
Obviously, in a static PDF this works, but in a browser window the text in the wide column will reflow depending on the size and ratio of the window.
Therefore, how do I ensure that the note in the small column remains at the same level with the portion of text it relates to? Effectively, how do I anchor the y-position of an element in a column of a wikitable to the y-position of, say, a specific word in another column of the same wiki table?
Kind Regards,
