[cl-who-devel] Macroexpansion of with-html-output body?

Hello,

It seems like it would be nice to expand any macros detected while
walking the tree of the w-h-o body. This would allow users to define
their own pseudo-tags a little more flexibly than is possible with
convert-tag-to-string-list. In particular, it would allow the user to
create a tag which modifies its body (as a tree) even when that body
contains the expansion of another user-defined tag. I don't believe
this is currently possible, as this hypothetical outer tag would have
access only to the HTML strings returned by the
convert-tag-to-string-list specialized on the inner tag and not to the
relevant s-expressions.

Is there any interest in a patch implementing this behavior?

Thanks,

--Eli
