I use the wildcard  (the  W, that is) to remove HTML
coding from Internet pages, leaving them in clean ASCII for printing and
storage. Three Ws are usually enough to clear out even long lines of
coding. Search-and-replace also works in replacing "&whatever;" coding
with "and." And of course there's mundane word replacement as well.
