Take a close look at that markup. Each of the links is wrapped in an
extra set of brackets padded with a space [
[[{$Name}?action=edit|Edit]] ]. I'm assuming that is giving you the
<pre> tags. Try removing those and see what happens. Then again, maybe
there was a reason Hagan had them that way. I don't know, but that was
the first thing I noticed.
