{{{ code }}}
``` code ```

There must be a way for users to enter text which will not be formatted by the wiki engine. Triple curly brackets ({{{}}}) were chosen due to their visibility and unlikeliness to be in the "code" itself.

Backticks (```) were not chosen due to their low visibility and confusion users would have that they were regular single quote marks (''')

In MediaWiki template space {{{ }}} are used for denoting variables.
