Locally Forced Generation
A token can be forced to generate its following token, which in the case of a markupTokenStartElement is its first child:
for token in parser (): if token.isStartElement ("chapter"): chapCount += 1 secCount = 0 if token.next.isStartElement ("title"): out.write ("<H2>" + str (chapCount) + ". ") processParaContent (parser, out) out.write ("</H2>") processSectionContent (parser, out)
