+When using this plugin, you should also enable [[htmlscrubber]] and either [[htmltidy]]
+or [[htmlbalance]]. Directives are filtered out by default, to avoid commenters slowing
+down the wiki by causing time-consuming processing. As long as the recommended plugins
+are enabled, comment authorship should hopefully be unforgeable by CGI users.
