browse_to_sections.py

''' 
This script takes you to any typing section from the guide.html file!
So when you run the program just type in the command line the section,
that you want to go. The program will forward you there automatically
from your browser.

CAUTION ! ! !
In order for this script to work you need to type the section, that
you want to go exactly as it is in the guide.html file ! ! !

I run this code on Windows 11, so I am sorry if this does not work
on macOs or Linux.

For example:
if you want to go to the Countries section, then type "Countries" etc.

It may not work in all the sections, so I hope you can make it work !
