Re: Need good tool for verifying links

Walter,

The solution is in the question. You can do this quickly with a Lisp
script (get help at nntp://comp.text.interleaf if you don't do Lisp
yourself); or you can do it one file at a time manually.

Manual procedure:

Opening each HTML file in turn:

1.      Select all of the text and copy to the clipboard

2.      In a new (i.e., blank) Interleaf document, paste the text.

3.      Set up a wildcard search that will find caps in links and replace
with lowercase. (This may require a couple of different search/replace
argument sets. Once you've constructed the strings, keep them handy so
you can enter them quickly.)

4.      Select all the text, copy, and paste it back into the html file over
the old text. Save and close.

As I said, this would run quickly as a batch process with a decently
written script.

Good luck!

Dick
