Markdown

The standalone 'markdown' utility is perfectly happy with an external link inside a `<h1>`, e.g.:
# Review of [Dwarf Fortress][]
...
[Dwarf Fortress]: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
produces
<h1>Review of <a href="http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/">Dwarf Fortress</a></h1>
but when I try to use this construct in an ikiwiki page, I get
<h1>Review of [Dwarf Fortress][]</h1>
It works fine with h2 and deeper. The square brackets also appear in the output of an [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive in archive mode, I haven't tried non-archive mode.
> I think you were confused by markdown's slightly wacky mix of square brackets and parens.
> The url in a markdown link goes in parens, not square brackets. For example:
# [Google](http://google.com/)
> [[done]] --[[Joey]]
>> It works here but it definitely does *not* work on my wiki; but on further experimentation, I believe my problem is being caused by JasonBlevins' [h1title](http://code.jblevins.org/ikiwiki/plugins.git/plain/h1title.pm) plugin.
