Hi,  
I have a problem with a own Kirbytag for centering text.  
The tags will be replaced but paragraphs will be mixed between.  
Here is the code:

```auto
<?php
Kirby::plugin('kdjfs/centertxt', [
    'options' => [
        'class' => 'center-text'
    ],
    'hooks' => [
        'kirbytags:before' => function ($text, array $data = []) {

            $text = preg_replace_callback('!\(center(…|\.{3})\)(.*?)\((…|\.{3})center\)!is', function ($matches) use ($text) {
                $html = kirbytext($matches[2]);
                return '<span class="' . option('kdjfs.centertxt.class') . '">' . $html . '</span>';
            }, $text);

            return $text;
        }
    ]
]);

```

and the markdown will look like `(center…)Lorem Ipsum(…)`.  
The Output should `<p><span class="center-text">Lorem Ipsum</span></p>`.  
But the Output is

```auto
<p>
<span class="center-text"></span>
</p>
<p>
Lorem Ipsum
</p>

```

I thing have an problem with parcing flow problems. Because if I dump inside the plugin the output will be okay.

Disable the paragraphs is not so smart to solve the problem.  
Hopefull someone had an idea.

ehm, according to your regex, it should be `(center…)Lorem Ipsum(…center)`.

aside from this, you probably want to use `kirbytextinline()` instead of `kirbytext()`
