I'm working on a wiki for a game that features equippable abilities. Abilities are marked with tags that  in in-game text   are enclosed in symbols; for example,  or . One of the tags is . The template we have for abilities here.

The problem is what happens when I try to add the  tag. Doing so turns the infobox into a bunch of wikitext. My best guess is that Wikia thinks I'm trying to use the function, and doesn't know where the rest of the math is.

(You can look at this page for an example.  Remove the space between < and "Math" in the list of tags to see what the problem looks like.  I'd rather not have to add a space like this every time, because it doesn't look grammatical right and it'll confuse well-meaning visitors who try to correct it.)

I feel like there ought to be a way to get the infobox to understand that this is supposed to be regular text instead of a command, but I'm not sure how. Does anyone have any ideas?
