=== Preformatted text ===
==== Code ====
<code><<nowiki />code></code> can be used to include small snippets of source code, variable names, or {{w|regex}}es within a line of normal text. All Wiki markup within is interpreted as markup except for text in <code>&lt;nowiki&gt;</code> tags.
==== Pre ====
<code><<nowiki />pre></code> defines preformatted text that is displayed in a monospace font and enclosed in a dashed box. HTML-like and wiki markup tags are escaped and spaces and line breaks are preserved, but HTML elements are parsed.
For example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
<pre>
<!--Comment-->
[[Wiki]] markup &amp;
</pre>
</syntaxhighlight>
gives
<pre>
<!--Comment-->
[[Wiki]] markup &amp;
</pre>
To use Wiki markup within a <code><<nowiki />pre></code> tag, [[wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Pre|place an {{plaincode|<<nowiki />includeonly>}} tag]] immediately after the word <code>pre</code>, as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
<pre<includeonly />>
<!--Comment-->
[[Wiki]] markup &amp;
</pre>
</syntaxhighlight>
gives
<pre<includeonly />>
<!--Comment-->
[[Wiki]] markup &amp;
</pre>
