Topic on Project:Support desk

Hello,

How can I turn off the formatting to achieve a WYSIWYG for plain text where CR/LF and TAB are translated into the displayed document, and all text is literally transcribed to the with no allowance for any kind of escape code.

This would be useful so that I can create a wiki to be used by a small group of people in sharing code ( predominantly C, C++, Java and LaTeX) while minimizing typing overhead in making the document wiki-friendly. There would also be less need for the collaborators to be skilled in wiki usage.

You should either wrap all the code inside <pre></pre> tags, or use an extension like Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi that even highlight the code.
