Well, most importantly, since you put the "..." inside of a 
Keep(), PmWiki isn't going to process any markups it sees
inside, including the $[...].  Also, the $[...] markup is
processed very early in the sequence -- long before any "inline"
rules are processed.  

Chances are that you want to do the translation explicitly 
before the Markup rule:

    SDV($FSLabel, XL('Text Size'));

or

    SDV($FSLabelFmt, '$[Text Size]');
    Markup('fontsizer', 'inline', '/\\(:fontsizer:\\)/',
      Keep(FmtPageName("<html stuff...>$FSLabelFmt</html>", $pagename)));
