Anchors and Encoding

There are some down-loadable resources I'd rendered into a web page for my use -- found that the HTML anchor tag worked a little differently -- when you use a named tag -- it turns out it is better practice to use a link to a section id. Likewise, when you use things like left and right double quotes you have to encode the page properly with the doc and head tags at beginning of document.

ReadCal.hta

It creates an iCal ~ ICS format calendar events for 
a book to be read.  Enter "Item to be Read",
"Pages", "Readings" then press "OK".             
                                                  
A calendar in iCal format is generated in the    
textarea and written to same file location as    
the application.

SCREENSHOT - Regular Expressions & Roman Numerals...

Most Gutenberg texts have 'Chapter I' or 'CHAPTER I' type divisions.
This one did not. To use my TTS applet I had to prepend the 'Chapter'
text in front of the Roman Numeral text divisions. I thought it might
be helpful to others so I'm posting 'how-to' here as well. I used the
SemWare Editor to accomplish this.
