These are a series of tests of combining the <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> and <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags. This is motivated by the results seen after a migration utility was used on pages encoded in another wiki syntax for use in a replacement MediaWiki. The most important question is, is there a reason to use both of these tags together? If so, what is the effect of various nestings of the two tags?

Using the <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> tag pair inside a <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> tag pair has no additional effect.

Latest revision as of 23:11, 30 November 2011

These are a series of tests of combining the <nowiki> and <pre> tags. This is motivated by the results seen after a migration utility was used on pages encoded in another wiki syntax for use in a replacement MediaWiki. The most important question is, is there a reason to use both of these tags together? If so, what is the effect of various nestings of the two tags?
