====== Links or Formatting in Headlines ======

:?: It seems that I can't use any other syntax inside headlines. Is this a bug?

:!: No, it's not a bug. It's a limitation of how headlines work in DokuWiki. There are two reasons:

  - From a typographic view it's considered bad style to have any formatting in headlines
  - The headlines are used in the TOC and some other places as well, doing this with markup in between would be technically very complicated and error prone
