Template:Block bug documentation

Jump to navigation Jump to search

If the block-formatted content begins with a list (or any other wikimarkup that is dependent upon a specific markup character being at the beginning of a line) then due to a bug in MediaWiki, a <nowiki /> and a new line must exist before the list (or whatever) starts. Compare:

Works as intended
 {{ Block bug documentation|1=<nowiki />

 *Secondly, ...
 *Thirdly, ...

Template:Error

To embed a table in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in |1=<nowiki /> – then every | character in the table markup must be escaped with {{!}}. An alternative is to use explicit HTML <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1"></syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">
</syntaxhighlight>, and <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1"></syntaxhighlight> markup.
