    • How to paste code/XML into wiki and *not* have it get mutilated?

    Posted by superwormy
    I'm trying to paste code/XML into my TikiWiki and it's getting mutilated. I'm using 
     and
    to make pre-formatted text which shouldn't get touched by the wiki. I'm pasting this:








    XYZ State University
    XYZ State University
    Keith
    Palmer


    But then when I edit it, it gets changed to this:







    XYZ State University
    XYZ State University
    Keith
    Palmer



    Note the extra ""s in there and how it changed "stoponerror" to "stoponerror" (lowercase).

    What the heck? How do I fix this?

    I considered using the
    Copy to clipboard
    tag or something, but I can't figure out how to install that plugin...?

    As far as I know the only thing you can do is to replace all angle brackets with Wiki syntax equivalent codes, which would be ~60~ for less than (<) and ~62~ for greater than (>). You should then be able to use the {CODE} plugin. Such that the following code:

    Copy to clipboard
    ~60~recipe name="bread" prep_time="5 mins" cook_time="3 hours"~62~
   ~60~title~62~Basic bread~60~/title~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="8" unit="dL"~62~Flour~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="10" unit="grams"~62~Yeast~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="4" unit="dL" state="warm"~62~Water~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="1" unit="teaspoon"~62~Salt~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~instructions~62~
     ~60~step~62~Mix all ingredients together.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Knead thoroughly.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Cover with a cloth, and leave for one hour in warm room.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Knead again.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Place in a bread baking tin.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Cover with a cloth, and leave for one hour in warm room.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Bake in the oven at 180(degrees)C for 30 minutes.~60~/step~62~
   ~60~/instructions~62~
 ~60~/recipe~62~

    Is translated as:

    Copy to clipboard
    ~60~recipe name="bread" prep_time="5 mins" cook_time="3 hours"~62~
   ~60~title~62~Basic bread~60~/title~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="8" unit="dL"~62~Flour~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="10" unit="grams"~62~Yeast~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="4" unit="dL" state="warm"~62~Water~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~ingredient amount="1" unit="teaspoon"~62~Salt~60~/ingredient~62~
   ~60~instructions~62~
     ~60~step~62~Mix all ingredients together.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Knead thoroughly.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Cover with a cloth, and leave for one hour in warm room.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Knead again.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Place in a bread baking tin.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Cover with a cloth, and leave for one hour in warm room.~60~/step~62~
     ~60~step~62~Bake in the oven at 180(degrees)C for 30 minutes.~60~/step~62~
   ~60~/instructions~62~
 ~60~/recipe~62~


    You can do this fairly easily by pasting the original XML in your favorite text editor and performing a simple "search and replace".

    Ahh... well in that case... I think I'll just use MediaWiki instead, where I can just paste it in and have it magically work correctly.

    Magic is fun! 😊
