lucid24.org sutta quick link feature

from lucid24.org homepage

The quick link feature is on the line under the Sutta nikāya menu.

It allows you to pull up a book/sutta from an input such as "MN 17" by typing it in with the keyboard without having to navigate through menus without using mouse/touch screen.

1. Using keyboard, type a book and number into the input box (where it currently has default value of 'mn125').

2. Enter 'return' on the keyboard and it will load up the book.

3. Book/Sutta should now be open a new tab of the browser window.

The sutta quick link you type in with your keyboard:

1) Is not case sensitive

2) not sensitive about extra white spaces at beginning or ending of the input line.

3) not sensitive about white space between nikāya and sutta number. Both "mn 17" and "mn17" work.
