Just a general note -- it might be wise to choose something other
than "(:pre:)" for a cookbook markup at the moment.  It's very analogous
to (:table:), and I have designs on (:div:) and possibly (:pre:) in
the relatively near future.  So we might end up with a case where the
cookbook markup conflicts with a future PmWiki standard.

And I just *know* this is going to prompt many to the question of 
"how do we make sure such conflicts don't occur in the future?" :-) :-) 
I think that the answer is that it's fairly rare and so I'm not 
going to worry about it too much right now.  If you're really concerned
about it, just put a "x-" in front of the directive name and you won't
ever conflict.
