Right, because we also need to add a title to that page to insert the 
colon. Thanks!

I did it this way. However, it would be nice if one could set a match / 
replace array pair in local/config.php, which PmWiki then applies. In 
this example:

$LocalAsSpacedRules = array('/([[:lower:]])(\d+[[:lower:]])/' => '$1 $2');

My code sets $PmAsSpacedFunction = $AsSpacedFunction then MyOwnAsSpaced 
function calls $PmAsSpacedFunction first, before applying the extra 
rule. However, if the site uses utf-8, $PmAsSpacedFunction needs to be 
set *after* loading xlpage-utf-8, which redefines $AsSpacedFunction.

 From a user perspective, it looks like a spacing error, so I think it's 
better to fix in software.

Thanks.
