.(ref) Full reference: ((doc:Escaping==))

It's possible to cancel all normal wiki processing in a specific text fragment. This is done in 3 ways:
  1. A single otken can be escaped if it's prefixed with a **tilde (~)**. Example: "this is not ~**bold text~**" (without escaping: "this is not **bold text**").
     # It's possible to escape **dual equality signs (==)** used in ((Terms)), ((Links)) and other combo elements to separate its parts. Compare: ((Link with spaces==its caption==)) & ((Link with spaces~==its caption==)).
  2. If a part of line (or entire line) is wrapped in **double quotes (~"")** no markup is processed there - works exactly as if a tilde was put before any token but is more convenient for large chunks of text. Example: "here ""you **will** see --no-- markup"" at //all//" (without escaping: "here you **will** see --no-- markup at //all//").
     # You can stop ~"" from having any special role in the same manner you do with all other wiki tokens - by prefixing it with a tilde. For examples check the source code of this page (on the left).
  3. Using **((Basic double percent signs)) (~%%)** you can convert a portion of text into a code block stopping any markup (and also typographic convertions) from being applied there. Unlike two previous ways **this one is multiline**. Single-line example: "code %%does **not** contain //wiki//%% markup" (without escaping: "code does **not** contain //wiki// markup"). Multiline example:
%%
  No //markup//
  --here--, at **all**.
%%

Note that tilde (~) and double quotes (~"") mark the text they escape as //raw text// - this means that although no wiki markup is processed there other text rules are still applied. This differs escaping from a code block because the latter marks the text as //completely unprocessed//.
Compare the following examples:
  1. Check the ~-- dash.
  2. ""Check the -- dash.""
  3. %%Check the -- dash.%%

**Two dashes (%%--%%)** are normally converted to typographic ((WP:em-dash)) (—) when they appear in text - and you can see this happening in the first two examples. However, as 3rd example represents a code string rather than a line of text no convertion is done there and the text is output as-is.

This is Wackobin where you can store formatted documents and link to them using a short URL.

You can refer to earlier saved docs with user: interwiki in links or user- prefix elsewhere. Examples (replace «123» with text after «?» symbol in saved doc’s URL): ((user:123)), {{Include user-123}}.

It’s possible to cancel all normal wiki processing in a specific text fragment. This is done in 3 ways:

A single otken can be escaped if it’s prefixed with a tilde (~). Example: «this is not **bold text**» (without escaping: «this is not bold text»).
- It’s possible to escape dual equality signs (==) used in Terms, Links and other combo elements to separate its parts. Compare: its caption== & Link with spaces==its caption.
If a part of line (or entire line) is wrapped in double quotes ("") no markup is processed there – works exactly as if a tilde was put before any token but is more convenient for large chunks of text. Example: "here you **will** see --no-- markup at all" (without escaping: "here you will see no markup at all").
- You can stop "" from having any special role in the same manner you do with all other wiki tokens – by prefixing it with a tilde. For examples check the source code of this page (on the left).
Using double percent signs (%%) you can convert a portion of text into a code block stopping any markup (and also typographic convertions) from being applied there. Unlike two previous ways this one is multiline. Single-line example: «code does **not** contain //wiki// markup» (without escaping: «code does not contain wiki markup»). Multiline example:

  No //markup//
  --here--, at **all**.

Note that tilde (~) and double quotes ("") mark the text they escape as raw text – this means that although no wiki markup is processed there other text rules are still applied. This differs escaping from a code block because the latter marks the text as completely unprocessed.
Compare the following examples:

Check the — dash.
Check the — dash.
Check the -- dash.

Two dashes (--) are normally converted to typographic em-dash (—) when they appear in text – and you can see this happening in the first two examples. However, as 3^rd example represents a code string rather than a line of text no convertion is done there and the text is output as-is.
