Uh... that has ALWAYS been possible in the Analog config:

http://analog.cx/docs/othreps.html#FLOOR

http://analog.cx/docs/output.html#HOSTNAME

http://analog.cx/docs/output.html#STYLESHEET


For finding this kind of stuff, http://analog.cx/docs/indx.html is
your friend.

If you look at http://analog.cx/docs/map.html and see the entry for
"Search Arguments" that might give you a place to start. Some of the
other pages are better organized or more obviously named. That is
definitely an example of a poorly named page because it could apply to
the ARGS* commands the SEARCHENGINE commands or the
INTERNALSEARCHENGINE commands.
