 be put after its name, to avoid confusion with a [[WikiLink]]. For example:
 
 	\[[pagecount ]]

+A preprocessor directive does not need to all be on one line, it can be
+wrapped to multiple lines if you like:
+	
+	\[[directive foo="baldersnatch"
+	bar="supercalifragalisticexpealadocious" baz=11]]
+
+Also, multiple lines of *quoted* text can be used for a value.
+To allow quote marks inside the quoted text, delimit the block
+of text with triple-quotes:
+
+	\[[directive text="""
+	1. "foo"
+	2. "bar"
+	3. "baz"
