After a bit of research, I discovered the output parameter of the wikify
widget. I hadn't noticed that when I had tried wikify before. If I set the
output to html, then I seem to get exactly what I want (at least in the
experiment that I did). I will next try it in my mileage macro to make sure.
I'm still open to any comments or suggestions on improvements of my macro.
