Template:Cnw
Combination of <code> and <nowiki>.
Unlike with <pre>, wrapping still works.
Usage
Write "|" between braces of the wikitext to be displayed (and if its last character is a closing brace, also after that), and also inside tags, to avoid their interpretation by the server.
Write "|" in the desired wikitext as {{!}}.
a{{cnw|'''bold''' ''italics'' {|{tc}|} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''}}b
gives:
a'''bold''' ''italics'' {{tc}} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''b
If a line of wikitext has man braces and/or pipes it is easier to use <code><nowiki>..</nowiki></code>.
Limitations
The "|" does not avoid interpretation by the browser. For example, a code like → is not shown but interpreted by the browser. Also, both a single and multiple newlines are displayed as a space by the browser.
{{cnw|arrow → {{tc}}
''italics''
[[link]]}}
gives:
arrow → in
''italics''
[[link]]
To preserve paragraphs, apply the template for each line separately. To preserve also single newlines, use also <poem> tags.
<poem>
{{cnw|{|{tc}|}}}
{{cnw|''italics''}}
{{cnw|[[link]]}}
</poem>
gives:
{{tc}}
''italics''
[[link]]
