[pmwiki-users] Can't use twice in a row small emphasized text

[Peter Kay]

Another thing you could do (if for whatever reason, the order is important)
is to put a breaking pattern inside the problem markup:

[-''KO''[==]-][-''OK''-]

That way, '- doesn't appear in a place where it can trigger markup.

(You could also put it in both places, just to be safe from future
problems:  [-''KO''[==]-][-''OK''[==]-]  )

This is a useful trick to know, from time to time.
