PmWiki generally allows either ':' or '=' to be used for settings
options/arguments.  This is because the web itself seems to use
colons and equals in different contexts; e.g., the web uses
equals signs in HTML tag attributes and URL query string parameters,
but uses colons in CSS properties and the like.

Rather than require authors to have to think about whether an
equals sign or colon is needed, most PmWiki markups allow either
to be used (PmWikiPhilosophy #1).
