* Change order of linkify and preprocess; first preprocess and then linkify.
This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something that looks like a wikilink will now have it treated as such; AFAIK this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin. * Enable preprocessor directives when previewing an edit.
