Why wouldn't an anchor be present for every section? What does it hurt to have a "Bo" header if your first entry in the section starts with "Br"? It still effectively breaks the sections down

Perhaps the vowels are not the best place to break the entries when one considers the actual frequency of words with [uvwxyz] as the second letter compared to those with [abcd], [efgh], [ijklmn], or [opqrst] as the second letter. There's nothing particularly wrong with those choices, though.

Having uniform splitting of sections for each starting letter helps navigation quite a bit regardless of where the breaks are made or whether an entry actually starts with what the section header contains.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
