Correct. Macros inside of HTML tags aren't normally evaluated. You 
can either escape the tag that contains the macro, or you can set the 
flag (in #prefs), or as a directive in a page object, for looking 
inside HTML tags that's part of the new html.processMacros for 
Frontier 8. The flag is "processMacrosInHtmlTags".
