That's how it works, I'm afraid, Chad. Wikiwords are recognised only if preceded by one of a specific set of characters, and > isn't one of them.

I think it's unlikely that the spec will change to accomodate this, I fear.

We can't change the spec for two reasons:

1. Compatibility with existing content

2. Incorrect rendering because a WikiWord in HTML would get linked again. Example:

<a href="http://google.com/">HelloGoogle</a>

<a href="http://google.com/"><a href="/cgi-bin/Sandbox/HelloGoogle">HelloGoogle</a></a>
