However right now I don't think that should be a high priority to figure out at this time (unless someone already knows how to do it.) There is a bug report [1] open for the feature. Yeah, this isn't hugely important until we start publishing some linear article series. The beginner's series will certainly fit this description. > > Links to W3 specs I'm not too sure on.
