That's how the > localization does its job. OK, I'll try looking at that. Something I have been looking for is a way to tell whether or not we're currently inside a certain element in the HTML output stream. Specifically, suppose you've used <citerefentry> in a section title, which has then appeared in the set of ToC links. When that happens you have two nested <a> elements (one for the ToC link, and inside it a link to the manpage CGI). Is there a way I can query the (make element ...) output stream, or do I need to keep track of this in a global variable, and make sure that every time I do a (make element gi: "a" ... ) that the variable's value is set correctly?
