Instead of including the delimiters in the text definition, they may be added
through a preparatory verb. The result is not so clean a call to wd as when the
delimiters are embedded in each noun, but keeping the delimiters out of noun
definitions has its own tidiness.
qtEach=: ;@:(([: DEL&, ,&DEL) &.>)
Using that, the wd call would be:
wd 'mb ',qtEach title;text
Double-quotes may occur in those nouns, of course.
