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]])
Sometimes, it's safe to call the parent parser back on the extension input, and sometimes, it's not. You could attempt $parser->replaceVariables( $text ); if things seem to work, then it's probably okay, but you might like to do some recursion testing to check nothing's going to die horribly and unexpectedly.
Another approach is to declare a second, local-scope parser - clone the $parser object passed, and see if that does it.
