Wikitext not working inside property displayed with show

Workaround: declare a template {{==}} that merely displays its only argument: {{{1|}}}. Then use {{#show: My Page | ?Intro section | format = template | template = ==}}.

That's a good workaround, thanks. Does anyone know if there is good reason for #show to not work this way anymore? Or is it an oversight? Seems like #show is broken if this doesn't work.

I checked #set on an old SMW Version 1.7.0.2 and the notion of {{#set: Intro section={{{Intro section|}}} }} would not create any annotation within a normal wikipage because the #set only works on an invoked Parser object (which does the pre-processing, template parsing etc.) this means any pre-parsing of template content need to be finished before #set is called.
