-ikiwiki also has an older syntax for directives, which requires a
-space in directives to distinguish them from [[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]].
-This syntax has several disadvantages: it requires a space after directives
-with no parameters (such as `\[[pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in
-[[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]].  ikiwiki now provides the `!`-prefixed syntax
-shown above as the preferred alternative.  However, ikiwiki still supports
-wikis using the older syntax, if the `prefix_directives` option is not enabled.
-For backward compatibility with existing wikis, this option currently
-defaults to off, so ikiwiki supports the old syntax.
