It doesn't, but there is clearly something I don't
understand. inline-image generates HTML using yaclml, here is a
narrowed-down case:

(defun inline-image (filename)
  (<:div :class "inline-image"
	 (<:a :class "inline-image"
	      :href "sample/image.jpg"
	      filename)))

This results in:

<div class="inline-image"
  ><a class="inline-image" href="sample/image.jpg"
    ></a
  ></div
></a
  ></div
>
