        Because [ [inlinepage] ] isn't separated by a blank line it gets treated as a block-level element. Hmm, will this stop all formatting, including *'s to em-tags? --[[JeroenSchot]]
 
-    Ah didn't realize you meant it fixed it at the markdown level. I'll think about making [[postprocessordirective]]s into preprocessordirectives instead, then I could use that fix (but I'm not sure how feasible it is to do that). By the way, I am considering adding a hack to prevent markdown's overzealous expansion of \_ and \* inside words. --[[Joey]]
