That is an excellent idea, but it involves re-writing the content (about 400
pages in this case) to include <span> elements. I once wrote a
global/recursive search-and-replace tool for Linux, but it operates on
files, not on a database, which is where all the data is located. If I got
an sqldump, I can't think of a simple rule to mass-replace e.g.
<a href="TOKEN">link name</a>
<a href="TOKEN">link name<span> TOKEN</span></a>
I know it is possible, but it is not trivial to implement.
