I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that you can do yourself an enormous favor by reading Markup in the Monastery (and related nodes), and then going back and updating your original post by removing all the  <br> tags and then wrapping your code (and output) in  <code> ... </code> or  <c> ... </c> tags. That way, something like  [$cookie] looks like  [$cookie] and not like the $cookie link. (Also, some indentation wouldn't hurt.)

It's clear that, unlike some, you've put a good deal of effort into you post. It's a shame to see that effort misdirected.
