P4:: do you know how can i add some [code] formatting to pages and why when i press just single [ENTER] it doesn't work? ;)

The simplest way to learn how to format pages is to look at existing ones ;). <code><pre>CODE</pre></code> should work - according to [[1]] Simple Returns are ignored you might use
oder a double return (new paragraph?). See [[2]] --Joda 09:39, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
    • There are different ways. Just code looks like this.
      pre puts things in a box and prevents wiki markup from having '''too ''much''''' ''effect''.
      I used pre in addition to code in the example Joda mentioned because the indentation was interpreted as wiki markup, but just pre alone tends to give the same rendering. Adding a space in front of each line should have worked as well. <br> should be avoided. If it's absolutely necessary (do you really need arbitrary line breaks when you have paragraphs?), use <br />. Or, if appropriate, <pre></pre> or a space in front of each line. —Jonathan 10:57, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
