Tracked down a bug in Text::WikiFormat with the help of Sam Vilain (mugwump). The problem was triggered because an empty regex was being used to match paragraphs, and it turns out that perlop tells us:

  If the PATTERN evaluates to the empty string, the last successfully
  matched regular expression is used instead.

So whenever the formatter was called in a situation where a match had previously succeeded, all paragraphs were getting silently eaten. Bug report and failing test sent to chromatic, and CGI::Wiki::Formatter::UseMod 0.07 released with an interim fix.

Released OpenGuides 0.22 with a number of minor tweaks and fixes that people had asked for - nothing hugely exciting. Very shortly after that happened, Ivor reported a bug with textareas that had been introduced in 0.21, so I wrote a test, fixed it, and uploaded 0.23.
