+This is an auxiliary template that allows one to encode "<code>|</code>" (the pipe character) without it being interpreted as Wiki markup. It is designed to be easier to remember than having to memorize the HTML entity for the pipe ({{plaincode|&amp;#124;
+}}).
+Please do not use {{plaincode|&amp;#448;}} (which produces &#448;) for this purpose, since it may not work in all web browsers. It is also slightly smaller than the normal pipe character.
