48The link to the heading will be messed up by the apostrophe.

4650##Code
4751
4852We need a way to present code as-is, so we want to be able to turn off wiki formatting for a block. The "code" markup (a pair of backticks) doesn't do the job.
4953
5054###Backticks
5155Code sample (note that the format differs between preview mode and final presentation):
5256
5357`
5458if (a)
5559 b
5660else
5761 c
5862`
5963
6064###Triple backticks
6165
6266This section is "fenced off" by triple backticks (see [GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown)):
6367
6468```
6569if (a)
6670 b
6771else
6872 c
6973```
7074
7175but the formatting is not preserved.
7276
7377###Blockquote
7478
7579The blockquote markup doesn't do the job either, since again the format differs between preview mode and final presentation:
7680
7781>>if (a)
7882>> b
7983>>else
8084>> c
8185
8286###XML-style blockquote tag
8387Here's an attempt to use an XML-style blockquote tag:
8488
8589<blockquote>
8690if (a)
8791 b
8892else
8993 c
9094</blockquote>
9195
9296The blockquote tag disappears altogether, but does not prevent the text it surrounds from being reformatted.
9397
9498##Escaping characters
9599
96100We need ways of escaping various characters:
97101
98102###Underscore
99103Mention a name that contains a single underscore:
100104
101105a_b
102106
103107It appears correctly. But mention a name that contains an underscore twice:
104108
105109a_b a_b
106110
107111It appears as:
108112
109113ab ab
110114
111115where the first b and the second a are italicized.
112116
113117Solution: Use a backslash in front of each underscore:
114118
115119a\\\_b a\\\_b
116120
117121to produce this output:
118122
119123a\_b a\_b
120124
121125###Parenthesis
122126
123127Say that I want to write this, but in a help section, so I don't want to trigger interpretation as an actual link. Here, I've included spaces to throw off interpretation, but I want to be able to accomplish that through escape sequences instead.
124128
125129[ t e x t ] ( h t t p : / / example . com )
126130
127131Solution: put a backslash before the open-square-bracket and before the open-parenthesis and close-parenthesis. (Putting a backslash before the close-square-bracket is optional.)
128132
129133\\[text\\]\\(http://example.com\\)
130134
131135Output:
132136
133137\[text\]\(http://example.com\)

153157
154158Fourth bookmarklet test (which fails in both preview mode and presentation mode; in presentation mode it points to http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/sandbox):
155159
156160[test 3][3]
157161
158162
159163javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of" +"%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one","");if(e!=null){var%20r=/(http:\/\/[^\/]+\/[a-z]{3}\/)?(sentences\/show\/)?([1-9][0-9])(#.)?/;var%20em=e.match(r);if(em!=null){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match(r);u=hm1+"links/add/"+hm[3]+"/"+em[3];location.href=u;}else{alert("Invalid%20input.")};}
160164
161165Fifth bookmarklet test, in which I use backslashes to escape all backslashes, asterisks, underscores, open-square-brackets, close-square-brackets, open-parentheses, close-parentheses:
162166
163167javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt\("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one",""\);if\(e!=null\){var%20r=/\(http:\\/\\/\[^\\/\]+\\/\[a-z\]{3}\\/\)?\(sentences\\/show\\/\)?\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\*\)\(#.\*\)?/;var%20em=e.match\(r\);if\(em!=null\){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match\(r\);u=hm\[1\]+"links/add/"+hm\[3\]+"/"+em\[3\];location.href=u;}else{alert\("Invalid%20input."\)};}
164168
165169This works in terms of preserving the text. (Note that replacing "\\" with "\\\\" must be the first step. After that, the other replacements can be done in any order.)
166170
167171However, I'm not able to get it to work right in a link:
168172
169173[bookmarklet test](javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt\("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one",""\);if\(e!=null\){var%20r=/\(http:\\/\\/\[^\\/\]+\\/\[a-z\]{3}\\/\)?\(sentences\\/show\\/\)?\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\*\)\(#.\*\)?/;var%20em=e.match\(r\);if\(em!=null\){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match\(r\);u=hm\[1\]+"links/add/"+hm\[3\]+"/"+em\[3\];location.href=u;}else{alert\("Invalid%20input."\)};})

Third bookmarklet test (which succeeds only in preview mode; in presentation mode it points to http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/sandbox):
 
[test 2][2]


javascript:var%20u%20=%20%22%22;var%20e=window.prompt%28%22Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of%22+%22%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one%22,%22%22%29;if%28e!=null%29{var%20r=/%28http:\/\/%5B^\/%5D+\/%5Ba-z%5D{3}\/%29?%28sentences\/show\/%29?%28%5B1-9%5D%5B0-9%5D%29%28#.%29?/;var%20em=e.match%28r%29;if%28em!=null%29{var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match%28r%29;u=hm%5B1%5D+%22links/add/%22+hm%5B3%5D+%22/%22+em%5B3%5D;location.href=u;}else{alert%28%22Invalid%20input.%22%29};}

Fourth bookmarklet test (which fails in both preview mode and presentation mode; in presentation mode it points to http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/sandbox):

[test 3][3]


javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of" +"%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one","");if(e!=null){var%20r=/(http:\/\/[^\/]+\/[a-z]{3}\/)?(sentences\/show\/)?([1-9][0-9])(#.)?/;var%20em=e.match(r);if(em!=null){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match(r);u=hm1+"links/add/"+hm[3]+"/"+em[3];location.href=u;}else{alert("Invalid%20input.")};}

Fifth bookmarklet test, in which I use backslashes to escape all backslashes, asterisks, underscores, open-square-brackets, close-square-brackets, open-parentheses, close-parentheses:

javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt\("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one",""\);if\(e!=null\){var%20r=/\(http:\\/\\/\[^\\/\]+\\/\[a-z\]{3}\\/\)?\(sentences\\/show\\/\)?\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\*\)\(#.\*\)?/;var%20em=e.match\(r\);if\(em!=null\){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match\(r\);u=hm\[1\]+"links/add/"+hm\[3\]+"/"+em\[3\];location.href=u;}else{alert\("Invalid%20input."\)};}

This works in terms of preserving the text. (Note that replacing "\\" with "\\\\" must be the first step. After that, the other replacements can be done in any order.)

However, I'm not able to get it to work right in a link:

[bookmarklet test](javascript:var%20u%20=%20"";var%20e=window.prompt\("Enter%20URL%20or%20number%20of%20sentence%20to%20link%20to%20this%20one",""\);if\(e!=null\){var%20r=/\(http:\\/\\/\[^\\/\]+\\/\[a-z\]{3}\\/\)?\(sentences\\/show\\/\)?\(\[1-9\]\[0-9\]\*\)\(#.\*\)?/;var%20em=e.match\(r\);if\(em!=null\){var%20h=location.href;var%20hm=h.match\(r\);u=hm\[1\]+"links/add/"+hm\[3\]+"/"+em\[3\];location.href=u;}else{alert\("Invalid%20input."\)};})

### Code sample indicated by indentation

Code preceded by four blank spaces per line:

    if (a) {
        b;
    }

Code preceded by seven blank spaces per line:
    
       fn main () {
    
       }

In both cases, the code is correctly formatted during both preview and final presentation.
