[Pmwiki-users] Escape Sequence [= ... =]

[Michael_Paulukonis@divintech.com]

After having sung its praises just a moment ago, I'm nevertheless having 
some issues with the Escape Sequence [= ... =]

According to TextFormattingRules:

Anything placed between [= and =] is not interpreted by PmWiki. This makes 
it possible to easily do WikiWords that are not links and turn off other 
special formatting interpretation. The [= and =] can span multiple input 
lines, allowing effects to be applied to multiple input lines. For 
example, space[= at the beginning of a line will cause the text up to the 
next =] to be monospace and uninterpreted by PmWiki (useful for program 
listings). 

However, If I enter [= at the BEGINNING of a line, while the text is not 
"parsed" by pmWiki, it is neither monospaced no layed-out properly (line 
breaks are ignored, etc). I have to have a space at the beginning of the 
line, then [= to start it out. This means that my monospace-listings are 
ALWAYS preceded by an empty line, and short fragments of code included 
within a sentence are not in monospace--just uninterpreted.

Is there some setting or config step that I'm missing?

I note that Balu 
(http://www.b-a-l-u.de/index.php/Projects/SingleWikiWords) has the same 
issues:

* [= SingleWikiWords('Main/SingleWikiWords'); =]

is not interpreted, but appears in "normal" type. 

ah. the same "problem" is in pmWiki.org:
