In general, wikitext inside extension tags is not parsed as wikitext but as literal input to the extension. To get around this, you need to use the #tag parser function. Think of it this way.

Using Tags


 * 1) Find opening tag
 * 2) Find closing tag
 * 3) Pass all enclosed content unaltered to extension
 * 4) Insert extension output into page
 * 5) Parse wikitext

Using #tag Parser Function
 * 1) Find #tag
 * 2) Parse wikitext in arguments
 * 3) Pass altered content to extension
 * 4) Insert extension output into page
 * 5) Parse wikitext
