I am a starter with htdig and wanting to understand its capabilities first:

I understand that a found word in search will return a predesignated portion of the 
document to present with the hit....somewhere i read a recommended amount of 512 
bytes.  I have approximate 150 k  text newsletters to present in an archive....of 
course this is many scrolled screens deep.
I would like to keep each newsletter as a consolidated html document...and can insert 
anchors at the beginning of each short article in a monthly newsletter.

I  have seen  add_anchors_to_excerpt  "If set to true, the first occurrence of each 
matched word in the excerpt  will be linked to the closest anchor in the document "

My question: 
Does this mean it is linked to NEAREST  or  NEAREST ABOVE anchor.  An anchor is 
usually at the beginning of a particular section of interest (where the title or 
subheading lives)....it would be confusing for the excerpt to rake someone to the 
anchor of the next region.  If ABOVE is not a default behavior, can someone point me 
to 
the tools to make sure that the linked anchor is the NEAREST ABOVE
