The quoted link gives both "total number of occurrences [of the start tag]" and "total number of pages [with at least one occurrence of the start tag]", so you can find the counts from there. But the total number of occurrences is generally a useless measure - 3965 of the 7156 <u> occurrences were on a single page, so random chance (like not looking at that particular page, or looking at it after it was fixed) can easily affect the total count by 50% or more. It ought to be possible to present the per-page occurrence counts in a more useful way so the patterns don't get hidden by a few crazy pages, probably as a histogram or something (or does anyone have a better idea?), but I haven't done anything like that yet. -- Philip Taylor pjt47@cam.ac.uk
