There does not appear to be a universal rule such as: "to prevent double 
wikification, always use a <$text> widget when loading a $<wikify> widget 
from a variable."

To show what I mean, consider this variation of Jeremy's test rig where I 
set the variable to a heading string:

<$set name="testVar" value="! My Heading">

  <$wikify name="testOutput1" text=<<testVar>> output="html">
    <$text text=<<testOutput1>>/>
    <<testOutput1>>
  </$wikify>

  <$wikify name="testOutput2" text="<$text text=<<testVar>>/>" 
output="html">
    <$text text=<<testOutput2>>/>
    <<testOutput2>>
  </$wikify>

</$set>

It results in this output:


<h1 class="">My Heading</h1>
My Heading

<p>! My Heading</p>

! My Heading



In this case the outcome is the opposite of the experience with tildes and 
wikitext: using the <$text> widget results in the "wrong" result.

Is there a universal technique to ensure any variable value will be 
rendered "correctly," or is it necessary to experiment with your input to 
determine whether to use <$text> with it or not?
