+The `format` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/format desc=format]]
+plugin.
+
+The directive allows formatting a chunk of text using any available page
+format. It takes two parameters. First is the type of format to use,
+ie the extension that would be used for a standalone file of this type.
+Second is the text to format.
+
+For example, this will embed an otl outline inside a page using mdwn or
+some other format:
+
+	\[[!format otl """
+	foo
+		1
+		2
+	bar
+		3
+		4
+	"""]]

+I like your suggestion because it's short and conscise. However, it would be nice to be able to refer to more or less arbitrary meta tags in links, not just "title". To do that, the link needs two parameters: the page name and the tag name, i.e. \[[pagename!metatag]]. Any sufficiently weird separater can be used instead of '!', of course. I like \[[pagename->metatag]], too, because it reminds me of accessing a data member of a structure (which is what referencing a meta tag is, really). --Peter
