Eric, how does quickbook currently handle scoping: aren't macros and 
templates scoped to the current include file?  Or do they escape out into 
the enclosing file (they need to for this to work, but there are other 
situations where scoping is a *very good thing*)?

Aside, one of thing that may be a quickbook bug:

I have a super and sub-script templates which work great, but:

x[super 2] barr.

gets printed without a space between the x^2 and the "barr", I can work 
around this by using:

x[super 2 ] barr

But really we want:

x[super 2]barr

No space

x[super 2] barr

has a space.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

John.
