Template:MacroCode
{{{1}}}
Use this template to contain verbatim macro code in the Macros recipes pages.
This is similar to Template:Code, but without any syntax highlighting.
This template essentially creates a block of text surrounded by HTML <pre> ... </pre> tags, which the Addon Manager downloads and extracts.
Since content that includes an equals sign (=) is interpreted as a variable, you must specify the code= parameter explicitly to avoid issues.
Example:
Inside the code, neither the double nor the triple braces {{ }}, nor the vertical bar | are allowed because these are interpreted in special ways by the wiki software.
{{MacroCode|code=
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
}}
The <nowiki> ... </nowiki> tags can be added explicitly to allow displaying these special symbols.
{{MacroCode|code=
<nowiki>
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
</nowiki>
}}
Result:
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
We can also display all symbols by using explicit <pre> ... </pre> tags.
<pre>
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
</pre>
Result:
a = {{"A"}, "B"}
if a:
Q = Qt.Ok | Qt.Cancel
