Daniel, thanks

I get a page with one or more items, each items has several lines, one
line in each item is definitely unneeded, so I guess 'avoid the match'
will be the go

links -dump crc.html > a.txt
awk '$1 !~ /(^$)/' a.txt  > a.ful
awk '/Page/, /References/  { print }' a.ful  > a

yes, I'm now thinking 'if I could make a vcal file out of this, that would
be even nicer...'

are you aware of any tools to convert to 'Title Case' ?
I see plenty options to convert upper/lower case, but haven't found any
for Title Case
