Thank you for your answer and your time.

I needed it to generate unique bookmarks.
At the time they were generated from $AuthId + time
Seeing that I misunderstood PmWiki's functionality, I have managed to 
make an other solution.

The current solution is to have the gui button insert a special 
markup.
In my case (:bookmark:)
Then, when the Save button is pressed, an extra edit function goes 
through $new['text'] and replaces each occurrence of the bookmark 
markup with $AuthId+time+serial

I will put this up as a recipe.

Best regards :o)
