Description: The "Author+date" tag (4 tildes), when protected inside [=...=], is currently substituted with the actual "Author Date" string.

This is not very intuitive...

Note: One can circumvent this by using [=~~=] twice, but this is cumbersome.


Because the ~~~~ is replaced when the page is saved (instead of when the page is displayed, like most markups), it's not easy to avoid the replacement. At any rate, at it's not yet a big enough issue for me to worry about fixing. :-)

There are other methods for circumventing this, including:

    ~~%%~~
    ~[=~~=]~
    ~~~~

If others find this to be an important fix, add votes above.

Thanks!
