Try enclosing the wiki markup with {pre}...{/pre} as well as {code}...{code}; also try putting a back slash (\) before the hash/pound (#) character.

Hi, I'm new at this. I've been trying to figure out a way to write some example wiki pages that explain the XWiki syntax better to my users. However, the XWiki engine always seems to want to interpret the markup rather than showing it as a literal. For example, if I do: {code} 1.1 This is how to create a heading {code} The "1.1" is not visible on the page, and the heading is rendered fully styled. This also happens with markup such as "#includeTopic". You can see an example of the problem here as well: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TuTAddSearch Is there any way to really make XWiki ignore a block of text? Thanks in advance, - Peter Flynn
