another demo-only lesson, again with our page-viewer:
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/grapes203.py

there are several big advancements in this version...

first, there's now a "toc" button, which shows you
a list of the pages (with links) that head a section.
(in z.m.l., this is a line preceded by 4 blank lines.)
so you have more navigational power than before.

next, when you do a search now, it not only lists the
_pages_ that contain your search-term (with links),
it now lists the actual _line_ that contains the term,
which gives a heckuva lot more context on the hit...

finally, in a development that increases your power
tremendously, you can now specify a _text-file_ as
your search term (it must have the ".txt" extension),
and the program performs the search of the pages
using every _line_ contained within that text-file...
(with the restriction that each line is just one word.)

say there's a file "simple.txt" containing these lines:
>   love
>   books
>   wonder
>   mystery
>   dry-as-dust

if you were to give "simple.txt" as the search term,
then the program will search for all of those terms.

as you can see, such a file exists on my website:
>   http://zenmarkuplanguage.com/simple.txt

so try entering "simple.txt" as your search-term.

bingo!  a list (with links) of 134 lines with at least
one of the five search-terms, from pages 7 to 277.

nifty.  useful.  powerful.  that's all for this lesson...
