You can have HTML or WIKI syntax appear the way you typed it by wrapping the code with an opening < and pre and > then a closing < / pre and > tag. This is used for examples of what to type into the wiki.
your code goes here
Heading Levels
Level 1 is for page name.
==level 2== ===Level 3=== ====Level 4==== =====Level 5===== ======Level 6======
Tables of Contents
MediaWiki adds a table of contents at the top of the page when you have four or more headers.
To change this behavior, at the top of the page, add:
__NOTOC__ Hides the table of contents (TOC). __FORCETOC__ Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before the first header). __TOC__ Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding __NOTOC__).

Templates
Pages that start with the phrase "Template:" can be used in a similar fashion to SmartSimple's System Variables. They can contain blocks of text, such as commonly used terms, Wiki tables and uploaded images. You should use templates if a term, table or image will be repeated across multiple pages. The template can be referenced by surrounding the template name (minus the leading "Template:" string) with {{double brackets}}.
Example Templates
- {{UTA}} - returns
- {{GUA}} - returns Global User Administrator
- {{LUA}} - returns Local User Administrator
- {{XML}} - returns XML custom field
- {{ROSV}} - returns Read Only – System Variables
- {{WPV}} - returns Web Page View
- {{l1}} - returns Level 1
- {{l2}} - returns Level 2
- {{CopyIcon}} - returns
