Jim,

Thanks for the explanation.

I can't see why they wouldn't; TabbedData doesn't use HTML comments.  I just
installed ExtendedSyntaxParser and UsenetSyntax into my wiki (which already has
TabbedData), and I could use both UsenetSyntax and TabbedData in the same page,
no problems.  This is on MediaWiki 1.9.3.

Having said that, I got this error on all page loads (I have PHP error
reporting enabled):

<b>Warning</b>:  Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated;  If you would
like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of xml_set_object().  If
you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set
