[Moin-user] Braces within braces within braces...

Hi All,
I've just started using MoinMoin for our internal development wiki.
Please forgive me if the following is a stupid question (and I'm
sort of hoping it is because then the solution to my problem will
be an easy one! ;-)
An issue that I've come across (and a minor one at that), is
how triple-braces are handled _inside_ a code block or 'special' code
block. The perfect example is trying to document the use of special
code blocks. eg:
{{{
#!plain
{{{
#!rst
This is some **emphasized** restructured text.
}}}
}}}
Unless I format the second-last set of braces with a space between
one of them, I get a weird result.
(A similar problem occurs in code blocks on the same line but I
now realise that can be avoided by escaping the whole block.
eg: `{{{code}}}`)
Incidentally, I tried to work around this by using the unicode
equivalent for a brace but I couldn't seem to get unicode
characters to work - the & kept getting replaced with ampersand
replaced with ampersand-amp-semicolon. Unfortunately, this
would be the easiest way to solve my problem...
I played around with the code a bit and found a way to solve the
problem by counting braces. Unfortunately, it behaves oddly
when there's a mismatch between the number of opening and
closing brace sets, so myabe that implies it's not really a good
solution.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I should handle this?
Regards,
Brendan
