Make Wiki Markup language visible and not execute using "nowiki . . . /nowiki" formatting

[edit]

Here is an example of a nowiki Wiki-Markup formatting that creates the word "ORANGE" magic marker highlighted in the color orange: ORANGE.

It was done with this wiki-markup:

"<nowiki>{{hl|ORANGE|orange}}" </nowiki>.

And another example

To change the color in "the middle part of" this sentence.
Use the following the wiki-markup
To change the color in {{color|blue|"the middle part of"}} this sentence.


Here is an example of Wiki-Markup formatting of {{color|green|GREEN}}

which creates the word "GREEN" presented in the color green: GREEN - note if you have blue/green color blindness, it might not look too green.

To create a reference with only a number, place the reference's pathname;

Stuff and a draft for the Beckwourth Trail Page

[edit]

Look the code for the following line: it presents the word "not" in italics

The vaccine is not a cure.

Today, chiasmus is applied fairly broadly to any "criss-cross" structure, although in classical rhetoric it was distinguished from other similar devices, such as the antimetabole.[citation needed]

Beckwourth Trail is part of California Trail

Beckwourth Trail

[edit]

The Beckwourth Trail was established by James Beckwourth in 1850.[1] The trail left the Truckee River Route at Truckee Meadows (now the site of Sparks, Nevada) and proceeded north along roughly the route of Stanford Way to Wedekind Road to U.S. Route 395. It follows Route 395 north and turns west to cross the Sierras through Beckwourth Pass at an elevation of 5,221 feet (1,591 m) on what is now California State Route 70. The trail then passed west to, avoiding Feather River Canyon, through present day Plumas, Butte and Yuba counties into California's Central Valley, terminating at Marysville. The Oroville-Quincy Highway (California State Route 162)[2] and California State Route 70 from Quincy to Highway 395 in general follow the path of the original Beckwourth Trail.
