A little bit, yes. But it didn't take an inordinate time to parse out manually. I see the potential of the autoslicing making it *way* easier with some custom delimiters and maybe a sed-type filter to filter out all the "back to top" links.
I dread handling updates ... I don't know of a good efficient way to diff eCFR regs other than semi-manually. /Mike On Apr 28, 2016 03:07, "Matthew Petty" <[email protected]> wrote: > > I was also doing stuff with the eCFR.

It adds a lot of autogenerated cruft in the TOCs. There may be some need to go down to this level but I would make the delimiter for levels beyond just headings configurable/regexp-able. In the eCFR example above. It would be useful to go down to the paragraph denoted with a lowercase letter in braces and the subparagraph denoted by a number ... end even sub-subparagraph denoted by lower case roman numerals ... but I don't know what a good title for the paragraphs would be other than their typical legal reference (i.e. §###.## (a)(1)(i)). I have not tackled splitting thing up to that level manually mainly due to the work it would entail and the difficulty in piecing together a tiddler name that won't be error-prone. >> >> 2) In the eCFR example, there are a lot of annoying "back to top" links that I have to manually remove.
