Okay so excuse my ignorance here but this would be called how? 

(element (PUBLISHER NAME)
	 (make paragraph
	   (get-publisher-name (current-node))
	   (process-children)
	 )
if this is correct, are there other repacements for (current-node)

and also, in the above you say ;do navigation magic but I don't understand what
that is supposed to mean. Is that a necessary part of the function

Where are these examples located?

I tried running that back end and all I got was META-dtd does not allow data
at this point...

    W> (element section1 (make element gi: "div" (process-children)))

    W> (element (section1 title) (make element gi: "h1"
    W> (process-children)))

    W> (element (section1 body) (process-children))

    W> (element emph (let ((gi (case (attribute-string "STYLE"
    W> (current-node)) (("BOLD") "b") (("ITALIC") "i") (else "b"))))
    W> (make element gi: gi (process-children))))

    W> (default (process-children))
