I couldn't come up with a good pattern that allowed the hyphen without =
also
allowing multi-hyphens (e.g., hyphenated----page) or other complications.
Plus one can always write {{hyphenated|-page}}-links to get the same =
result
as the first.  I'll re-examine the pattern.

I can certainly add [[$Tlink]] to the allowed markup.  You could try it
as a local modification by doing $DoubleBrackets['[[$Tlink]]'] =3D '$Tlink'=
;
and see if it works--if yes I can add it to a new release.

Um, no; I had misunderstood $Tlink. What I need is a reference that is $=
Title for a WikiWord and {{$Title}} for a free link. In fact I'm now =
having a hard time understanding what {{$Title_}} does, 'cos it's not a =
valid free link reference... (I assume it's fine if the space replace =
character is '').

I'm not sure I understand here, but perhaps my explanations above help...?

Yes, I had misunderstood $Tlink. I have now ended up with a local check =
that if the pagename is not a wikiword is does a 'Describe {{$Title}} here.=
' I think this should happen automatically.

I'm very open for additions to the $DoubleBracketsArray if it makes
things cleaner/easier to implement.
