Just get rid of. For more information on the gallery tag, you can read Help:Galleries, Slideshows, and Sliders. - For future reference, there are several tags you can use when attempting to post raw "code". They are: code, pre, source, syntaxhighlight, nowiki, and verbatim. Using pre as an example: {| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="float:right;line-height:22px;color:rgb(70,0,0);font-family:Meiryo,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;border-radius:7px;font-size:12.6px;width:264px;" The tags "code" and "pre" are from HTML. "Code" is in-line and essentially just applies a preset font. It doesn't actually prevent interpretation of the markup/code while the others do. "Pre", as you can see, is a block element.
 * colspan="2" style="border-top-left-radius:7px;border-top-right-radius:7px;border-bottom-right-radius:7px;border-bottom-left-radius:7px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:bold;background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,0%0%,0%100%,color-stop(0.25,rgb(70,0,0)),color-stop(0.75,rgb(178,34,34)));text-align:center;"|Name Here
 * colspan="2" style="text-align:right;"|
 * style="background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,0%0%,0%100%,color-stop(0.25,rgb(70,0,0)),color-stop(0.75,rgb(178,34,34)));text-align:right;"|Kanji

As far as I can tell, "source" and "syntaxhighlight" are the same. They are both displayed as block elements and require that the language be specified using the parameter "lang". For example, if you are typing CSS, "lang="css"". The benefit is that, as the name suggests, language-specific coloring/highlighting will be applied.

"Nowiki" is just a simple in-line method of prevent the interpretation of MediaWiki markup. Similar for "verbatim" except I think it handles more than just MediaWiki markup. An interesting thing about "verbatim" is that I thought it was supposed to have been disabled. But perhaps that was a different tag that went by the same name? The "verbatim" tag that was disabled has something to do with including content from other pages; I think. I don't know, maybe you shouldn't use that one.

With the exception of "verbatim", HTML character codes are always converted. Therefore, if you want to show the actual character code, you need to replace one of the characters with its own character code. The one I do, out of convenience, is the ampersand. For example,  displays as   and   displays as.
