Bingo (mostly). Thanks! The reputation nanny won't let me give you any more karma at the moment.

For "Letters to Solovine", they are links to TOC. For "Tomatoland", they are links to end notes. I think the key for both types is the same underlined words are at both ends of the link. This is probably the result of some automated process, but also seems useful, and may even be a standard convention. It also seems that sometimes only the first letter is a link target, and that confused me the first time I checked to see if it was a link.

I suppose that I will gradually get used to it, I think I have on the web because links are usually also a different color. Right now, it is still a bit distracting.
