I'm not aware of any existing txt-browser that does this.
When you find one, then tell me.
Otherwise you have to script yourself. I'd be interested even in
this (even if only to learn ;).

Why not?
Generally it's good to have visual aids.
However, the implementation varies, and I prefer a simple data
format that works even without a dedicated visual aids interpreter
(human readable): i.e. the way of aiding is not stored in the data
itself but left up to the reader (the original www idea).
A tool can perform its beefing-up well enough on this simple/
raw data, too, as mutt and other MUAs show.
