inserting breaks/pages to an html file.

[none albert]

Suppose you have a html file that exhibits a glossary index near the beginning:
...
<A HREF="#I">I</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#J">J</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#KEY?">KEY?</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#KEY">KEY</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#L!">L!</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#L@">L@</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LATEST">LATEST</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LEAVE">LEAVE</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LINK">LINK</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LIST">LIST</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LITERAL">LITERAL</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LIT">LIT</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LOAD">LOAD</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LOCK">LOCK</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LOOP">LOOP</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LSHIFT">LSHIFT</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#M*">M*</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#M/MOD">M/MOD</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MAX-USER">MAX-USER</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MAX">MAX</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MESSAGE">MESSAGE</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MIN">MIN</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MOD">MOD</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MOVE">MOVE</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#MS">MS</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#NAMESPACE">NAMESPACE</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#NAME">NAME</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#NAME">NAME</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#NEGATE">NEGATE</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#NIP">NIP</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
...

That looks ugly, we want each starting letter on a new line,
like so.

<A HREF="#I">I</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<P>
<A HREF="#J">J</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<P>
<A HREF="#KEY?">KEY?</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#KEY">KEY</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<P>
<A HREF="#L!">L!</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#L@">L@</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
<A HREF="#LATEST">LATEST</A> &nbsp; &nbsp;
..

How do go about this?

-too much trouble
- I write a small Forth program
- I use standard Unix tools : awk / perl / ...
- other solutions ?
