        But then we get have the the problem of using area
        substitutions in templates that contain a TOC.

	If I have a template "my.tmpl" that has

	  {:
	  [[s|(home.page)|<a href="my.home.net">$1</a>|igs]]
	  <<BODY>>
	  :}

	and I have a wml file test.wml

	  #include wml::std::toc style=ol
	  #use "my.tmpl"

	  <divert BODY>
	  <toc>

	  <toc_h1>Do you have a home page?</toc_h1>
	  <br>
	  Yes! Follow this link to see my home page.

	  </divert BODY>

	I get the output 

          <ol><li><a href="#ToC1"><strong>Do you have a 
	  <a href="my.home.net">home page</a>?</strong></a>
          </ol>
	
	  <a name="ToC1">Do you have a <a href="my.home.net">
	  home page</a>?</a>
	  <br>
	  Yes! Follow this link to see my <a href="my.home.net">
	  home page</a>.

        And I have a nested href inside my TOC... Not
        pretty...
	
	The ability to put <protect pass=6> </protect>
	around the <toc> tag would fix this problem....

	
Thanks,


Thomas
