This code is a bit cleaner than what I was using, but I'm still having
a similar problem. Now, the first quote in each file has an extra
character before the authors name. I could probably use ltrim to get
rid of the extra character if I knew what it was. How do I find what
character it is? In the HTML source it just shows up as a rectangle.
