Forum:Verbatim

Does anyone have any experience with the. Can I find documentation for them any where? It seems to me they always output inside < > thingies, so if the output would be true, they output. Duskey ( talk ) 19:05, August 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * What are you talking about? What wiki, what feature, can you give an example? -- ◄mendel► 21:28, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * Verbatim tags parse as he contents of the MediaWiki page named as the contents originally inside the tags. Eg, MediaWiki:True in your example. Link to what you're talking about. Joey (talk) 22:14, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, nice; so forum-url gives me, and hsgkjsdfh gives me   because the page MediaWiki:hsgkjsdfh doesn't exist.
 * The question is, Duskey, what do you want the "verbatim" tag to do? -- ◄mendel► 06:17, August 16, 2010 (UTC) & 06:19, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want the tag to work liek it does on TWiki, you might want to try the &lt;pre> tag instead:

 * And what's the difference between &lt;verbatim&gt; and using ?. edit and  produce the same results for me:  edit  and  respectively (note that my UI is not in english, so both shows the internationalized message "edit" in your language, so it may be different than the contents of MediaWiki:Edit. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:00, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * What a strange tag. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:20 AM PST 16 Aug 2010


 * The difference seems to be that "int" is documented and "verbatim" is not. -- ◄mendel► 20:08, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The difference is int: acts as mediawiki and still limits what html you can use on pages (things like anchors, img, script tags, etc that aren't allowed to be on normal wiki pages due to localsettings.php) after it parses, while verbatim parses as the html itself bypassing the mediawiki limit. Eg, take this is an example. It's a good alternative for a lot of the uses of inserting html into pages via js that don't actually really need js. Joey (talk) 22:47, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
