Template:Code/doc

Wraps a short span of text in  tags. This template should be used for short samples; longer content should use  or . See Help:Wiki markup for an explanation of what the various tags do.

If the content includes an equals sign (=), you must specify the parameter explicitly:.

The template uses the nowiki tag to attempt to supress wiki markup interpretation. This works on some things, but not others. For example,  will not render the word "wiki" in bold, and will render the tripled-single-quotes:


 * some wiki text

However,  will still invoke the template:


 * a call

This template does not need to be substituted.

Use parameter / to specify a language for mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi. This option defaults to plain-text i.e. no highlighting.
