[dokuwiki] Re: preg_match() Compilation failed: regular expression too large...

From a brief scan of the code (found at
http://danjer.doudouke.org/tech/dokutexit) in particular
class.texitrender.php, it invoking the parser directly and _may_ have
passed something to the lexer which depends on the input document. I'd
discuss this with the author...

The only plugin I have installed and it's used when this error occurs is
dokutexit, which parses dokuwiki syntax into LaTeX to generate a PDF
