Hi Dave, I want to find specific names (I have a list of 320 names in an xml file). I want to scan through a page and create a link around the first instance for one of the names in the list.
eg "Stephen Boyd's favourite person in the work is Fred Von Brown. Stephen Boyd calls Fred Von Brown every day." would become "<a href="biolinkStephen">Stephen Boyd's</a> favourite person in the work is <a href="biolinkFred">Fred Von Brown</a>. Stephen Boyd calls Fred Von Brown every day." One of the gotcha's I've considered is that some people's names may have apostrophes on them, eg "Stephen Boyd's". I'm sure there are many more gotcha's as well but at this point I am trying to get a sense of the feasibility of this idea.
