+Indented lines provide a good way to escape a block of text containing
+markdown syntax, but ikiwiki links like \[[this]] are still
+interpreted within such a block. I think that intepretation should not
+be happening. That is I should be able to write:
+
+ [[this]]
+
+and have it render like:
+
+ \[[this]]
