Legend Titles/Sub-titles

Hi all,

I am working on a mapping app with multiple thematic layers viewable at
one time.  I'm trying to title each map layer within the legend in bold
and then have the text next to each color be in plain text.

My mapfile legend looks like this:

  #
  # Start of legend
  #
  LEGEND
    STATUS ON
    KEYSIZE 25 18
    LABEL
        TYPE TRUETYPE
    FONT times
    COLOR 0 0 0
    SIZE 11
    ANTIALIAS TRUE
    END
  END

Each layer has a metadata tag like this:

    METADATA
        "TITLE" "All Disenfranchised Felons"
    END

And in my html code, I have the following for the legend:

 <p><big>Legend:</big><br>
 <big>[TotalDisRate_TITLE][AfrAmerDisRate_TITLE]
      [StateVotingRights_TITLE]</big><br>
 <img name="legend" src="[legend]"></p>

Right now, the layers and titles appear in the legend, but all the
titles appear one after the other, and are then followed by all the
titleless layers.

Does anyone know how I could modify the legend to have a
title/layer/title/layer appearance as opposed to a
title/title/layer/layer appearance?

Thanks!

~Becky
