In order for the software to interpret wiki markup, its parser first scans the page. When it sees its nowiki tags
:{{tag|nowiki}} ([[Wikipedia:escape character|escape]]s all contained wiki markup), and
:{{tag|nowiki|s}} (escapes the interpretations it is designed to "break"),
it escapes its wikicode, so editors can document its markup ''using'' its markup.

<nowiki /># Ordered list

|A [[Wikipedia:micro-|micro-]]second.

|A [[Wikipedia:micro-|micro-]]<nowiki />second.

Unless you use the two "balanced" nowiki tags, troubleshooting [[Wikipedia:help:strip markers|strip marker]] errors and template parameter-handling inconsistencies is a risk. Also, a rendering error may arise when two <kbd>[<nowiki />[...]]</kbd> square brackets are on the same line, or two <kbd>{<nowiki />{...}}</kbd> curly brackets are in the same section, but only when the two have the nowiki markup placed inconsistently.

{{see also|Wikipedia:Help:Hidden text|l1=Hidden text}}
It's uncommon{{spaced ndash}}but on occasion acceptable for notes to other editors{{spaced ndash}}to add a hidden comment within the text of an article. These comments are visible only when editing or viewing the source of a page. Most comments should go on the appropriate [[Wikipedia:Talk page|Talk page]]. <!-- This is an example of text that is not visible except in "edit" mode. --> The format is to surround the hidden text with "<code><!--</code>" and "<code>--></code>" and may cover several lines, e.g.:

Many [[Wikipedia:HTML]] tags can be used in wiki markup. You can check your HTML by using [[Wikipedia:Help:Markup validation|markup validation]].
