PmWiki doesn't prevent someone from writing these,
but the result is not valid HTML.

In general I've decided that it's not worth the
effort that would be required to make PmWiki
handle every possible HTML situation that could
possibly arise.  For example, the following markup
will also produce incorrect HTML:

   @@This is monospace ''and italic@@ and non-monospace''

Trying to recognize and handle these cases is well
beyond the scope of what I'm trying to do with PmWiki.

All that said, the solution to the [--(:pagelist:)--]
problem would be to require that (:pagelist:) begin
in the first column.
