As I understand it, MarkupToHTML requires a populated markup table, 
which gets built after pmwiki has loaded the standard markup rules. This 
happens after it has loaded all local markup rules. So MarkupToHTML can 
be called only when a markup rule is evaluated.

Also, you may want to consider something like:

   global $MyMarkupFunction;
   SDV($MyMarkupFunction, 'MarkupToHTML');

   $mydata = $MyMarkupFunction($pagename, 'some text and markup to be 
evaluated');

For an example of this usage, see scripts/pagelist.php and the 
FPLTemplate function. This enables co-existence with any third party 
recipes which modify the MarkupToHTML function.
