This can be done by inserting an <code>includeonly</code> directive in the opening tag, as <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><includeonly /></code> or (as seen on Wikipedia and many other sites) <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><includeonly></includeonly></code>, as follows: | ||

=== Syntax highlighting === | The <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tag also accepts styling, just like other HTML elements. Here, if you use the aformentioned <code>includeonly</code> directive, the styling should come after the directive: | ||

[[mw:extension:SyntaxHighlight|Syntax highlighting]] is a feature to display source code in different colors and fonts to indicate the structure to readers. Wrap the desired code between <code><<nowiki />syntaxhighlight></code> tags and input the desired programming language using the <code>lang</code> parameter in the opening tag. Unlike in <code><<nowiki />code></code> and <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tags, everything is escaped. | [[mw:extension:SyntaxHighlight|Syntax highlighting]] is a feature to display source code in different colors and fonts to indicate the structure to readers.

Inserting a JPEG, GIF, or PNG image is pretty straightforward – when using the visual page editor, click the "File" button and upload the image. Or in Wikitext, use <code><nowiki>[[image:filename]]</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>[[file:filename]]</nowiki></code>. Also SVG images are supported (<code><nowiki>[[file:some.svg]]</nowiki></code>), they are automatically transformed into PNG images by the MediaWiki software, because not all Browsers come with native SVG support. A possible problem can arise when the image uses fonts that are not available on the wiki server. To prevent such errors, you can transform text into graphic objects before uploading the image here. | Inserting a JPEG, GIF, or PNG image is pretty straightforward – when using the visual page editor, click the "File" button and upload the image.
