Yes, much better. I changed the text on the page to this:

 	The PSS() function removes the backslashes that are
 	automatically inserted in front of quotation marks by
 	the /e option of PHP's preg_replace function.  PSS() is
 	most commonly used in replacement arguments to Markup(),
 	when the pattern specifies /e and one or more of the
 	parenthesized subpatterns could contain a quote or backslash.
 	("PSS" stands for "PmWiki Strip Slashes".)

 	Example of where PSS() is used with Markup():
 	-> [@
 	Markup('includepage', '>if',
 	       '/\\(:includepage\\s+(\\S.*?):\\)/ei',
 	       "PRR(IncludePageText(\$pagename, PSS('$1')))");
 	@]
