Hi,
To clarify - I'm pretty sure the Collection extension doesn't handle parser
functions of any kind; so it's not just #ask but every other function as
well. Thus, it's not really an SMW issue but a general problem with
Collection. (Though to be fair, I think it also can't display the
"[[a::b]]" syntax, so there's also an SMW issue there.)
The last I heard, the PediaPress people were planning to work on the
problem - but that was something like two years ago, so I don't know what,
if anything, has happened.
