Can you be more specific *exactly* what you want marked up, and how?

What functionality are you losing? Where exactly in the file are you  
placing this set of instructions? The order of things of course matters.

capture, which in our case is something like "\section". I would  
change the number in the captures from 1 to 0. That might work.
