Subject: regex: splitting conditionally on |

I'm parsing mediawiki markup and I'd like to split a multi-line string
on | (vertical-bar), but only if it isn't contained w/in another
pattern.

| name1 = value1
| name2 = value2 | name3 = value3
| name4 = [[foo|bar]]

I'd like String.split(/pattern/) to return ['name1 = value1','name2 =
value2','name3 = value3','name4 = [[foo|bar]]']

I've working on a negative look-ahead pattern without success and my
brain is tired.

Thanks for any suggestions
