[TxMt] HTML Navbar, proof of concept

[Brett Terpstra]

Andreas' question got me thinking about the regexp in the Heading  
[1,2] snippets and in my HTML Navbar snippet.  I came up with these  
two replacements:

/(\w)+|( )+|([[:punct:]])+/(?1:\L$0)(?2:_)(?3:)/g

pulls out punctuation, lowercases everything and replaces spaces with  
underscores.  Basically the same as before but with punctuation  
stripped and multiple spaces treated as a single underscore.  "It's  
Getting Dark" becomes its_getting_dark.

/(\w)+|([[[:punct:]]|\s]+(\w))|([[[:punct:]]|\s])+/(?1:\L$0)(?2:\u$3) 
(?4:)/g

Camelcase regexp, strips whitespaces and punctuation and capitalizes  
the character after a space.  Seems to work well, but I'm admittedly  
poor at regular expressions.
"It's getting darker and darker" becomes itsGettingDarkerAndDarker.
