Yes.  Let's say your dispatch handler (a hunchentoot term) calls function
home-page, then home-page should look like this:

(defun home-page ()
  (with-html-output-to-string (*http-stream*)
    (:p ...)
    ...))

where *http-stream* is defined as a special variable, like so:

(defun *http-stream* nil)

Now, let's assume home-page includes a call to function navbar.

navbar doesn't need to use w-h-o-t-s.  This will suffice:

(defun (navbar ()
  (with-html-output (*http-stream*)
    (:div :id "navbar" ...)
    ...))

In short, only the 'top-level' function called by your dispatch handler
needs to use w-h-o-t-s.

Hope this helps.
