Amper 1.9 (Downloads: 441)
Safely converts ampersands to !amp; entities In the following, pretend ! is an ampersand. PAD files don't let me give literal examples. Amper converts ! to !amp; in HTML files and back, but does not convert it when the ! is already in an entity e.g. !lt; !thetasym; !eacute;
The main use for this is to pass HTMLValidator verification of your HTML, which is very picky about !, especially inside URLs.

File Splitter 1.3 (Downloads: 327)
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.
