Regex for next "n" characters
I use h3 for headers for chapters. I would like to be able to make an id using regex.

I would like to take the next 5-7 characters out of the heading following <h3> and make it <h3 id="next5characters">. I suppose I could rename all the chapters so I could make an HTML TOC more easily, but this seems less work, if it can be made to work.

Thanks.
