Almost. :-)

The issue here, though, was the behavior of whitespace in source code. I
had just spent several hours debugging a long regex that worked just
fine with egrep. The problem was that I expected leading whitespace in
my source code to just go away. I blamed it on burning out on RFC
research to write my first script, but in retrospect it all comes from
using python. :-)

Thanks. I have more than a few Dutch users, so that was a nice catch.
The problem is probably the character set mismatch. It wouldn't be
noticed in any native English browser, so I wouldn't have caught it
until final validation.

Got it in one. This is the engine:

	eval (:_dw:) /:*:headers::+:template:/

The /includes/master.html file is the template. The body of the
referenced HTML document becomes the content division of the final
document. Eventually I'll include metadata. There's ~1500 lines of CRM
in this thing, including 150 in webtools/gamelist.crm that generate this
page: 

http://usak.asciiking.com/webtools/gamelist/fge00028

The game map on that page is generated from an archive by a script that
uses ~50 lines of CRM to preprocess the archive and provide flow
control for the map creation process. Members of this mailing list
helped with memory use issues I had in that.
