Re: [Mediawiki-l] <pre> tag parsing not handeled

That's how <pre> works in MediaWiki - it replaces some entities in the internal data.

If you want a preformatted text block that still interprets wikitext, simply indent all the lines with a leading space. So instead of this:

<pre> Something here </pre>

You'd do this:

Something here

At least, I think that's what you're getting at.

Another thing to note: both "&lt;" and "<" will appear as "&lt;" in the HTML and thus displayed as "<" on the page. If you really want to see "&lt;" on the page, you have to put "&amp;lt;" inside the <pre> tag.

Hello All,

My <Pre> tag is rendered normally in the mediawiki articles. resulting in table tags being written a &lt;table instead of <table. Making the articles look funny. Can you please help ?

Thank you for your time,
