About
During the build process of my web site, I discovered that my anchor links were not working. It was due to the fact I was trying to use the call number, which included periods, as the value for the href attribute. I discovered that dashes worked, so needed to add a value that mirrored the call number, but with dashes. It's possible do this with via terminal with grep and perl commands, but my knowledge of those frameworks are not at the expertise level.
I used AppleScript to add the additional line of code I needed on hundreds of markdown documents. This video documents the process from start to finish.
