Using Literal Text for a Block

Wayne Long 06 Mar 2015 11:56

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to put Sample XML within Quotes. The problem I face is that wiki auto formats and ignores indentures, which are supposed make the XML "readable".
Is there a way to have a Literal Text Block? Some of the XML's are 50 lines long, so hoping to be able to box it rather than put it line by line.

Any shortcuts or is that the only way?

Thanks,
Wayne

Are you trying to do something like this…

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
   <book id="bk101">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications 
      with XML.</description>
   </book>
   <book id="bk102">
      <author>Ralls, Kim</author>
      <title>Midnight Rain</title>
      <genre>Fantasy</genre>
      <price>5.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-12-16</publish_date>
      <description>A former architect battles corporate zombies, 
      an evil sorceress, and her own childhood to become queen 
      of the world.</description>
   </book>
</catalog>

This is accomplished by wrapping your XML (or anything else) inside a [[code]] ... [[/code]] block. Documentation can be found here.

[[code]]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
   <book id="bk101">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
