New GA pages app

I've written a new Blazor app to complement GA App. It's GA Selis, for displaying a GA page. I have over 28,000 GA pages, extracted from the best PDFs that circulate; under the beyng.com/tmp folder. Almost all of them were created from scanned book pages that were then OCR'd. I also have 1000+ GA pages which I've edited and corrected OCR errors, fixed the unlauts and Greek diacritics; under beyng.com/pages/de. GA Selis will look up a page by GA volume number and page number, first under pages/de and then under /tmp, so it will display an edited page if available, and if not, the raw OCR page, if that's found. I also added a URL api, so it can be called to open a particular page; e.g.: https://www.beyng.com/gaselis/?vol=79&pg=155 I added a "Greek help" feature. Double clicking on a Greek word will look up info on it and display it in a modal dialog. I copied the Greek data files I had created for the Greek words in the Volpi book/app and created a razor component with the Greek file fetching and dialog code. I also added a few lines of interop code to get the double-click event from JavaScript.
