The below markup represents the same table, but with all of the special character sequences escaped. If you were to include this table in another table, or within a template, for example, this is how you would code it:
| colspan="2" |
 
{{(!}} class{{=}}"wikitable" style{{=}}"text-align: center;"
<pre>
{{!+}} style="font-size: 105%;" {{!}} Caption text
{{(!}} class{{=}}"wikitable"
{{!-}}
{{!+}} style{{=}}"font-size: 105%;" {{!}} Caption text
! Header text !! Header text
{{!-}} style{{=}}"color: blue;"
! Header text !! colspan{{=}}"2" {{!}} Header text !! Header text
{{!-}}
{{!-}}
{{!}} Example 0 {{!!}} Example 1 {{!!}} Example 2 {{!!}} Example 3
{{!}} Example 5 {{!!}} Example 6
{{!-}} style{{=}}"color: red;"
{{!}} Example 4 {{!!}} Example 5 {{!!}} Example 6 {{!!}} Example 7
{{!-}}
{{!-}}
{{!}} Example 8 {{!!}} Example 9 {{!!}} Example 10 {{!!}} Example 11
{{!}} Example 7 {{!!}} Example 8
