You can use wikitext (markup with angle brackets ("<<"), or curly braces
("{{") ) inside of widgets or other HTML tags like:
<$vars mine={{!!stuff}}>
However, AFAIK, you can't use wikitext links (square brackets) as widget
attributes.
You can't use wikitext inside of wikitext like
<<mymacro {{!!stuff}}>> or like [[mylink|{{!!stuff}}]]
and you can't use widgets as attributes inside other widgets like
<$vars mine=<$view field="stuff/> />
Sometimes it's possible to use wikitext curly braces inside of wikitext
angle braces (macros) if you process the text through the Wikify widget,
but to be honest I just poke around at it until something works ;-)
