It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the page
name as the link text. For example `\[[foo_bar|SandBox]]` links to the SandBox
page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]]. The reason you
-have to (well, *should*) use underscores in place of spaces is so that
-`ikiwiki` can distinguish your WikiLink from a PreprocessorDirective.

+(Note: previously, you could actually use spaces if you specify the target
+link following the pipe symbol (`|`), as in the above, but this has been
+disabled shortly after version 2.8).
To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like
`\[[WikiLink#foo]]`
