Yes, \page is the answer to this. And there is an index.html created as well as the file that I want.

[RK>] The \page directive is the key to getting arbitrary text in.

[RK>] And there is, as suggested, an index.html, which just links to all the other content. So on using \page I get a specific html file generated, which I can easily extract, or link to. > Try putting in a \page name Something in front of the markup.

[RK>] Although I think I have seen in the documentation a list that includes \class, \page, \file and others, I can't now find it. Although I did find \page late yesterday afternoon it wasn't easy to find.
