Re: Global parser not initialized on special pages?

thank you Brian.

With a fresh parser (I am not rendering messages but a template) it 
works. However, the parser always wraps my result in a <p> tag (I 
already removed the <div> via "nowrap" in ParserOutput::getText).

Can I tell the parser to not do that or do I need to manually unwrap the 
text?

Cheers,
Sebastian
