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
