Wikitext doesn't get rendered between strings. The exception is wikitext
inside of a wikify widget, which gets rendered sometimes on Wednesdays.
This worked in my test:
\define appendButton(old,add)
<$wikify name="stamp" text="$old$ <hr> At <<now>> <br> $add$">
<$button set="Log1" setTo=<<stamp>>> add to log</$button>
</$wikify>
\end
