+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.
