I'm using the most recent wip-cite-new branch of org, with a recent emacs git (28.0.50).

I would like to be able to surround some portion of a subtree with a tag, e.g.:

* parent
  some text
#+HTML: <div class="box">
** child 2
  some boxed content
** child 2
   more boxed content
 #+HTML:</div>
** child 3
  unboxed content

However, org seems to close the div for me before the ~** child 2~ headline.

Is this the intended behaviour? And if so is there any way for me to do this?

Sorry for the noise, I believe this is user error.   I misread the exported source code, and firefox's developer tools added the closing tag for me, so I kept not seeing my mistake. The error here was not realizing that section contents get wrapped in their own div with class ~outline-text-N~, so my ~<div class="box">~ resulted in malformed HTML.

I don't know if there is a way to somehow slide my own html in between the outine-text element and the outline-container element for a child subtree.  If someone knows a way to do this, I'd appreciate a pointer, but for now I think I have to find another way to accomplish this. 

thanks & apologies,

Matt
