The older syntax +used spaces to distinguish between preprocessor directives and +wikilinks; as a result, with that syntax in use, you cannot use spaces +in WikiLinks, and must replace spaces with underscores. The newer +syntax, enabled with the `prefix_directives` option in an ikiwiki +setup file, prefixes directives with `!`, and thus does not prevent +links with spaces.
