I want to write a template that has '<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>'. that is, the first argument will be rendered without parsing for wiki text. However, when i try this, {{{1}}} isn't parsed, so I get the literal '{{{1}}}' string. How do I achieve what I want?

I've been trying to find a way to do this for a long time now - unless something has changed in MW1.9, this isn't possible :-(

Cheers, Adam.
