Certain characters and character sequences have special meanings in Wiki markup. Sometimes, they need to be escaped, and these templates are used to do so.
 
Escaping these characters using templates simply delays their interpretation as Wiki markup, but if you type them using HTML entities or wrap them in <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;</code> tags, they will never be interpreted as markup.
 
'''Note:''' These escape templates should only be used when absolutely necessary, as overuse of such templates can make pages hard to read and edit in the source editor.

<nowiki>{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
|+ style="font-size: 105%;" | Caption text
