It is the 'hypertex' program ('htadd' can not do this). See
HTXAdvPage5.ht in hypertex documentation (I did not found corresponding
part in Axiom book, so maybe it is missing from printed version).

Yes, reading the code. Actually, I have found corrct place serching
for embedded paths (I wanted to fix a different problem). It is possible
that I have read HTXAdvPage5.ht earlier, but since a lot of browser
