You might want to try defining a new markup to declare variables, and 
then use that as a wrapper for variable declarations that need to 
contain markup. You can see this in action in BlogIt, which stores blog 
entries as multi-line PTVs. The foundation is setting 
$PageTextVarPatterns. In BlogIt for example, this pattern allows this 
format [[#blogit_VARIABLE_NAME]]:...[[#blogit_VARIABLE_NAMEend]] to 
store a variable, in addition to the normal (:...:...:) pattern.

$PageTextVarPatterns['[[#anchor]]'] = '/(\[\[#blogit_(\w[_-\w]*)\]\](?: 
*\n)?)(.*?)(\[\[#blogit_\2end\]\])/s';
