Commenting out long blocks on a page
Also known as: multiline comments
If you want to put many lines of comments on a page that are only visible in edit view and that can include directives that you don't want processed, use the "if false" trick:
The (:markup:)...(:markupend:) directive works here:
this text will be visible (:if false:) here is some text (:searchbox:) with other directives (:if:) but the intervening lines will only show in edit view |
this text will be visible but the intervening lines will only show in edit view |
Spaceless block preformat
How can I do spaceless block preformat - that is, preformat multiple lines without prefixing each line with a single space? For instance, I want to display a code block in the wiki.
The answer is our old friend, [=...=], but with a space on the line before the opening bracket. Here is an example:
The (:markup:)...(:markupend:) directive DOES NOT work here:
[=
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
time_t epoch;
char sdate[MAXS];
struct tm* tmP;
if (argc<2) {
USAGE(NULL);
}
} =]

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
time_t epoch;
char sdate[MAXS];
struct tm* tmP;
if (argc<2) {
USAGE(NULL);
}
}
