[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Combination of <code> and <nowiki>.

Unlike with <pre>, wrapping still works.

Usage

Write "|" between braces of the wikitext to be displayed (and if its last character is a closing brace, also after that), and also inside tags, to avoid their interpretation by the server.

Write "|" in the desired wikitext as {{!}}.

---

a{{cnw|'''bold''' ''italics'' {|{tc}|} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''}}b

---

gives:

---

a'''bold''' ''italics'' {{tc}} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''b

---

---

Compare (not wrapping):

a{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|'''bold''' ''italics'' {{tc}} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''|lang=text| inline}}b

---

gives

---

a

'''bold''' ''italics'' in [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''

b

---

Limitations

The "|" does not avoid interpretation by the browser. For example, a code like → is not shown but interpreted by the browser. Also, both a single and multiple newlines are displayed as a space by the browser.

---

{{cnw|arrow      → {{tc}}

''italics''
[[link]]}}

---

gives:

---

arrow → in ''italics'' [[link]]

---

To preserve paragraphs, apply the template for each line separately. To preserve also single newlines, use also <poem> tags.

---

<poem>
{{cnw|{|{tc}|}}}

{{cnw|''italics''}}
{{cnw|[[link]]}}}}
</poem>

---

gives:

---

{{tc}}

''italics''
[[link]]}}

---
