The general form is: -\\[[directive param="value" param="value"]] + \[[directive param="value" param="value"]] This gets expanded before the rest of the page is processed, and can be used to transform the page in various ways. +The quotes around values can be omitted if the value is a simple word. +Also, some directives may use parameters without values, for example: + + \[[tag foo]] + Note that if a preprocessor directive has no parameters, a space still must be put after its name, to avoid confusion with a [[WikiLink]]. For example: -\\[[pagecount ]] + \[[pagecount ]]
