sorry, i regret, i do not have the time to take a look at
such goodies.

com'on. you took care of wml for quite a while (where do
you take the time for it?) there is quite a lot there
already. we do know what we want: automatism. that's why we
use wml.

yes. it compiled smoothly here. (glibc 2.1.2pre2)

that's very recent.
i guess that's not possible for me at the moment. (no
time, no free computer to test) i run wml 1.7.a305 which i
built around july/august this year.
 
i took a short look at the documentation. seems there is
every tag defined i know. can't you take a look at the
parser of the original Meta-HTML to get rid of that bug you
write about at the end of the file? out of my mind: finish
the parsing of the token as soon as you got the first
matching result or when you get the first whitespace.
..but what do i tell you?

bye
