Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply.

I can create the plug-ins the way you mention, but all it does is insert the plug-in the same way I would type it, in braces, e.g.:

{CODE( caption="CodeCaption")}This is the code to be displayed{CODE}
The problem is, when "Content is parsed like wiki page" is disabled, the braces are not processed and they appeared literally on the page when it is viewed, instead of the plug-in being generated.

Maybe what I'm trying to do simply can't be done.

Incidentally, there appear to be other issues with using ~np~.  If I try to paste the literal sequence to make it appear on the page, the WYSIWYG editor turns it into the literal text, which will turn off wiki syntax when in fact I am trying to display the text for turning off wiki syntax.  If I try to edit a page with the sequence to turn off wiki syntax, it strips out the code to turn off wiki syntax, so whoever is manually editing has to notice this and remember to manually put it back in.  Overall, it seems to break the "WYSIWYG" experience, if what you see isn't always what you get because certain special character sequences have different behaviors.
