Escaping Content

There are two ways to escape content that is usually interpreted by the WikiMarkup formatter.

This will simply ignore any WikiMarkup wrapped in it:

<nowiki>[this would be a link]</nowiki> results in [this would be a link]

This will escape all special characters, so they are displayed on the screen:

<esc><b>some HTML</b></esc> results in <b>some HTML</b>

This will ignore any new-line wrapped in it:

<nobr>some content

and then some more</nobr>

results in

some content and then some more
