File Splitter 1.3 (Downloads: 322)
Split large text/html files into smaller files using embedded split commands. Split large text/html files into smaller files. I find it
much faster and more accurate than cut and paste.
You embed commands in the big file telling it which pieces
of it are to go where, then let Splitter do the work. It is
much faster and more accurate than trying to select huge
blocks of text in an editor. You don't accidentally lose or
duplicate text. Keeping files small makes the site more
responsive.

The main use for this is to pass HTMLValidator verification of your HTML, which is very picky about !, especially inside URLs.
As a side effect, it also ensures all your comment delimiters balance.

Wavelength creates Color objects given the light wavelength or the frequency Wavelength creates Color objects given the wavelength or
the frequency of the light rather than the usual RGB or HSB.
instead of:
Color c = new Color(255, 0, 0);
use the frequency in nanometers, and gamma 0.0. .. 1.0.
(gamma is intensity/brightness.)
Color c = Wavelength.wvColor( 400.0f, 0.80f );
The visible range of the spectrum is 380..780 nanometers.
