I want to use it in the default index.txt file so that I can put (for
example) the file name as the default section header.  E.g. :-

<* pagename *>
======================

at the top of the default index.txt would give a reasonable default
heading and would also get into all the rest2web structures for use as
link names etc.  Doing it in a raw:: html section would only create
the heading but not set any values.
