Markup	Renders as

Template documentation

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

This template is used to present markup or code side by side with the output it renders.

Usage

Each cell in the first ("Markup") column uses ‎<pre> to retain newlines and spaces but styled to allow content to wrap within it. It is usually desirable to escape the content of these cells so that the markup is displayed by wrapping the markup in ‎<nowiki>...‎</nowiki>. It is technically not possible to add this feature to the template.

Each cell in the second ("Renders as") column is usually the unescaped markup copied from the corresponding "Markup" cell before it. There are instances where this may differ:

• If the first line includes wikimarkup that must start on a new line such as #, * or ; then use ‎<nowiki /> before the first line; see examples below.

Limitations

‎<nowiki>...‎</nowiki>

If you don't wrap the content of the markup cell in ‎<nowiki>...‎</nowiki>, then any template markup will not be escaped, it will be expanded.

This example shows the markup for {{tl|tag}}:

Renders as	Expected rendering
{{[[Special:MyLanguage/Template:tag|Tag]]<span style="display:none">[[:Template:tag| ]]</span>}}	{{tl|tag}}

HTML entities

HTML entities are parsed in the markup cell:

Nowikied markup shows as	Expected markup
–	 –

To work around this, replace the & with & thus   will show as
