Using this doesn't provide the normal trail links, simply text formatted 
like a trail (ref the first trail under the "Wiki Sandbox" title: 
http://www.solidgone.com/pmwiki/index.php?n=Main.WikiSandbox).

Based on your other answer, that the trail script knows nothing about 
where it is from within a tmpl file, I'm tending to conclude what I want 
is not possible using my current approach. Anyone have another approach?
