OK...I'm getting there....this is good so far. One last question:

I'd like to have the downstream topics within a hierarchy
automatically appear at the end of a topic. At the bottom of the
style Title would be all the H1s until the next occurannce of the
style Title. At the bottom of the style H1 would be all the H2s until
the next occurance of an H1, and at the bottom of H2 would be all the
H3s that occur until the next occurance of the next H2.

Am I asking for too much?
