I think what you absically need is: 

global $wgParser; #might not be needed
$output = $wgParser->parse( $output ); 

Although I don't guarantee that it will work right with just that one
parameter - grepping the code shows that SpecialData.php uses
something more like:

global $wgParser, $wgTitle, $wgOut; #one or more of these may be
unnecessary if the globals are already in use in the code you're
playing with
$output = $wgParser->parse( $input, $wgTitle, $wgOut->mParserOptions, true ); 
$text = $output->getText();
