Howtos

Just my personal reference cheat sheet. The stuff I never remember when I need it, and which can be hard to dig out of the official Help pages.

Wikisourcecodequoting

<tt><nowiki> Put it Here </nowiki></tt>

Now try and figure out the wikisource for that line without looking! :-)

This is probably way outdated. See next item for a modern template style:

Quoting larger blocks of Wiki-Markup

::{{pre2|style=padding:0.2em|<nowiki>
Then just
  put it all
    here
(colons for indention are optional, of course)
</nowiki>}}

Footnotes

{{refn| Put your Text here. |group=Note}}

Displaying the </nowiki> tag in these howtos

The tag will just render as text if there isn't an "open" <nowiki> tag pending.

To show it after a <nowiki> tag therefore requires to:

1. suspend the "nowiki-state"
2. put the </nowiki> text
3. resume the "nowiki-state"

Code: </nowiki></nowiki><nowiki>

So that italicized words and end-quotation-marks don't run into each other

Use {{-"}} instead of the "
