It's up to the extension author as to what happens
to the
text between <parser hook></tags>; some will replace
variables, some will parse bits of it, and some (quite a few,
I should image) will leave it alone and pick bits out as desired.
This particular extension is one of the latter, according to the code.

I didn't even think about templates when I was writing the extension,
but now that someone has mentioned it, I'm feeling kind of a "duh"
moment. Is there any good documentation around on how to do this type of
thing, or any recommended parser extensions to look at? (I've already
looked at [[meta:MediaWiki extensions FAQ]] and
[[meta:Extending_wiki_markup]])
This is my first parser extension; do you have any recommendations for
anything else to watch out for?
Thanks,
Ryan Lane
PS: for the OP, I plan on trying to fix this...
