I am having an issue with creating an article.
I am using tikiwiki as a knowledge base for an internal IT department, so some of the things put in the articles need to be "exact", such as commands etc...

The issue is as follows:
in an article I want to put the exact command to install a 3rd party client on a linux host. the command uses 2 dashes, i have tried using the no parse tag, and just about everything else with limited success.

How can I get the article to show the 2 dashes correctly?

Thanks!
Environment:
tikiwiki 3.0 beta1
solaris 10
webstack:
php 5
mysql 5
apache 2.2

Ok, I was able to delete the quicktags for strikethrough, and in the preview it looks as it should, however when I save it, it's back to the same old thing.

Have you tried the "no parse" text:

It looks like this:

~np~--your text here even with two dashes ~/np~

Everything between the beginning "tilde np" and "tilde slash np" is rendered exactly like you type it.

Here is another test:

grep --everything

Good Luck!

I did try the no parse, i even deleted the quicktag, and I moved the tiki_strikethrough.php file. then I removed my original article. When I put the article back in, the preview shows it how I want it, but when I save it, the strikethrough is still there even with the no parse tag.

I'm thinking its a bug, I mean this is 3.0 beta1. Hopefully they will fix it. Or someone will figure it out and post here letting me know.

Hi,
I tested this in both 2.2 and 3.0. It is true, "no parse" tags do not work in an article under 3.0, but only if they are used in the article body, and only if the article is saved. The "no parse" tags work in both the heading and body of 2.2, even when saved. They also work in both the heading and body of 3.0 when viewed with preview. The "no parse" tags are ignored in a 3.0 article body that has been saved.

You could use ~45~~45~ until the bug is corrected.

TomJarvis,
Thanks, that worked. Is there a list of the codes used for different characters for wiki-text?
Aghain, Thanks!

Here are some more I figured out:
~35~ = # ~36~ = $ ~37~ = % ~38~ = & ~39~ = ' ~40~ = ( ~45~ = - ~46~ = . ~47~ = / ~48~ = 0 ~49~ = 1 ~50~ = 2
