this thread explains how to digitize a book quickly and easily. search archive.org for "booksculture00mabiuoft" for the book. *** another demo-only lesson, again with our page-viewer:

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... -bowerbird
