I am sure others will point this out, but this is already more or less
being done. Instead of links, they use headings. If you are using a
current version of either Window-Eyes or JAWS, use the "h" key to jump
through headings. Heading level 2 is for major sections and heading level
3 is for individual articles. If you do not use a screen reader, it would
be possible to either produce your own table of contents or mark up the
file for easier searching. You would need to use a search and replace
program to insert a character, such as "~" near the opening heading
tags. Not elegant, but it works. I have done similarly with the old
magazines from Project Gutenberg.
Speaking of PG, let me just mention that Project Gutenberg has a very nice
run of _Atlantic Monthly,_ _Punch,_ _Scientific American Supplement,_ _The
Mirror of Literature, Amusement and Instruction_ and a couple of others. I
recommend the html versions when possible because they contain headings,
but unfortunately most of _The Atlantic Monthly_ is in text only. All of
these are pre-1923, so they are of historical interest primarily. I read,
for example, about early experiments with electricity and how it might
replace steam in the future.
