[pmwiki-devel] Recipe returning PmWiki Markup

[Petko Yotov]

You may need the HTML entity > instead of >

   -> Some content.

(ampersand, gt, semicolon in case the mailing list mangles it)

(No entities for '<:block>'.)

And/or it may depend on when your markup is processed.

And/or this may help:

   return PRR($retVal);

See FunctionList for PRR().
