No. You could add a way, I suppose, but there isn't one.
Or even
just insert some raw html code? the <nowiki> tag doesn't seem to work for
this.
Arbitrary HTML is dangerous: cross-site scripting attacks; hijacking
sessions of other users, etc.
Another related question: is there a way to *link* to an external file on a file system,
using perhaps UNC (Universal Naming Convention), e.g.
[<\\servername\sharename\path\filename> External File] or some such syntax? On some
Mediawiki installations other than Wikipedia (e.g. ours) this would be extremely useful to
link to non-wiki flat files (e.g. Microsoft Word).
