<a name=job1234><!-- GARK my_values=ohio:drive-in:cook -->
where "GARK my_values=" is some signature which assures your program it is
looking at your "special" (said with SNL Church Lady inflection)
information. Something which reminds you (and others) to keep their grubby
mitts off of it while editing the file, but at the same time reasonably terse.
Do keep in mind that some Web browsers have a very creative idea of SGML
style comments, and be careful about use of HTML-related characters such as
">" within your link.
This approach would seem to be a kludge within the great scheme of things.
But, it sounds like you want something which works with tools in popular use
today. When something more elegant becomes practical, it should not be hard
to port your files over, using PERL or AWK or whatever. /Harold
