To compare a particular syntax with over 60+ wiki engines, you can use the [wiki markup comparison tool|http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php] from [WikiMatrix].

!!! Nowiki and preformatted in-line or block
No wiki markup is interpreted between these characters.
{{{
{​{​{

}​}​}

{​{​{no wiki markup processing}​}​}
}}}

Watch out when copying the above example: Zero width space was used between the braces to circumvent the wiki formatting rules.

!!! Placeholder
also "Native Markup Block". When there is something advanced like extention code of the native wiki that is not supported in creole, a placeholder will show up, so users will not be confused seeing more than one syntax. (optional for wiki developers)
