I am making a page on a wiki about how to make pages on the wiki.
How can I show double square brackets without them being understood by the software as to be indication of a link?
I have searched and searched on-line but have found nothing.
Is there an 'escape character' for this sort of thing?
Thank you for your help, bye,
Adam.
Hi Adam,
Have you tried just using a picture like the following?
Hello AL,
I had not thought of that. But I feel as though that might be a bit too much effort when their must surely be a simple way of doing this - for this exact purpose - showing people how to use the Wiki on a Wiki.
I have figured out a solution that involves using the HTML code for squarebrackets. I tried it on the forum here when I was writing the above post but it did not work. Eventually I got tired of looking on-line for a solution and tried the HTML on the Sandbox Demo and it worked.
The HTML for a left square bracket is [
The HTML for a right square bracket is [
Thank you for the suggestion AL.
Bye,
Adam.
Hi Adam,
Pictures are my standard way for doing things like that. I have been doing it for so many years and save them in a logical folder structure so that they are very easy to find and put into use. When I do have to make a new photo of something it is just a three key combination, then click and drag to define the picture area on screen, using SnagIt screen capture program.
If you are dead set against using a picture, you can also just put a space between the brackets, but then you will need to teach your students that the space needs to be left out in actual use.
HTH,
AL
