The following markup will display text and code in the wiki.

Unformatted Text

The <nowiki> tag will produce unformatted text on the page.
<nowiki> tags stop parsing of wiki markup, except HTML characters (e.g., for special characters).

<nowiki>  <Map><br>IDName = "Akka" OSMFile = "Akka.xml"/><br> </nowiki>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

<Map><br>IDName = "Akka" OSMFile = "Akka.xml" /><br>

Unformatted Text Block

The <pre> tag will produce unformatted text block on the page. The <pre> tag stop parsing of all wiki and html markup, except HTML characters (e.g., for special characters).

 <pre>
  <u><b> External links </b></u>
  * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Col-break/examples
  * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Columns
  ''End''
 </pre>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

<u><b> External links </b></u>
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Col-break/examples
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Columns
''End''

Text Block

A text block that performe wiki and html formatting can be created when the text lines starts with a space in the first column. The block will be maintained as long as the first column is a space.

 This text is in a text block.
 Text in a text <big>'''Block'''</big> can be formatted
 with normal <u>wiki markup</u>.

One line code

The <code> tag will produce a line of code text in a small area on the page.

<code> LatitudeNorth = "67.728190" </code>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"

The <nowiki> tag will produce a line of code where no wiki syntax processing are done.

<nowiki> no ''markup'' </nowiki>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

no ''markup''

Multiple lines of code

The <source> tag will produce multiple lines of code text in an area on the page.

 <source>
 <Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253" />
</source>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253" />

Syntax Highlighting

The <syntaxhighlight> tag will produce multiple lines of source code with syntax highlight text in an area on the page.

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
      Comment = "Where I want to be"
      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />
</syntaxhighlight>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
      Comment = "Where I want to be"
      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />

Source code of various programming and markup languages can be formatted using source element, which leads to colored syntax of the code.

Line

The line attribute enables line numbers.

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" line>
<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
      Comment = "Where I want to be"
      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />
</syntaxhighlight>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

1<Map
2      IDName = "Akka" 
3      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
4      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
5      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
6      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
7      Comment = "Where I want to be"
8      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />

Start

The start attribute (in combination with line) defines the first line number of the code block. For example, line start="55" will make line numbering start at 55.

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" line start="55">
<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
      Comment = "Where I want to be"
      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />
</syntaxhighlight>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

55<Map
56      IDName = "Akka" 
57      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
58      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
59      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
60      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
61      Comment = "Where I want to be"
62      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />

Highlight

The highlight attribute specifies one or more lines that should be marked (by highlighting those lines with a different background color). You can specify multiple line numbers separated by commas (for example, highlight="1,4,8") or ranges using two line numbers and a hyphen (for example, highlight="5-7").

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" line start="55" highlight="1,3-6">
<Map
      IDName = "Akka" 
      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
      Comment = "Where I want to be"
      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />
</syntaxhighlight>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

55<Map
56      IDName = "Akka" 
57      LatitudeNorth = "67.728190"
58      LatitudeSouth = "67.421200"
59      LongitudeEast = "18.178253"
60      LongitudeWest = "16.747284"
61      Comment = "Where I want to be"
62      OSMFile = "Akka-OSM.xml" />
