I think Nick is right about lipograms in general, but for our assignment we are looking for the longest string of s-free text. It can be embedded in a page.
So in fact every page has a lipogram of some length. It is just the text between two successive "s"'s. Also to make the programming easier, don't worry about it starting at the beginning of a sentence.

Lipograms are a span of text that are missing a letter. For Assignment 3, find the longest segment of text in the body of a page, that is missing the letter s. This part should span tags, but be sequential and not count the tag content. For example the following is a lipogram based on the letter s,
<html>
<head>
<title>A Lipogram Without an "S"</title>
</head>
<body>
I claim that here be a lipogram.
Y'All agree with me. Even him.
</body>
</html>
The length of this lipogram is the number of sequential letters that meet the test.
So from "I claim" to "him". This is 47 characters long.

Inappropriate?Can lipograms occur mid-sentence? Also, wouldn't the "snake" token in your example terminate the lipogram?
Thanks!
I’m confused

Inappropriate?sorry, the website stripped some html from that response.
<html>
<head>
<title>A Lipogram Without an "S"</title>
</head>
<body>
I claim that here be a lipogram.
<img src="snake">

</body>
</html> -
Inappropriate?And lipograms don't start mid-sentence.

Inappropriate?So, a lipogram doesn't have to occur on the whole page in order for it to count? I thought an entire page would be invalid if it wasn't a lipogram, similar to the book "Gadsby." Is that true, or is it sentence- and paragraph-length lipograms?
I’m unsure
