title: TypedBlockWikiText
tags: docs wikitextrule

WikiText can include blocks of text that are rendered with an explicit ContentType like this:

{{{
$$$application/javascript
//This is some JavaScript
var thing = 2 + "one";
$$$
}}}

This renders as:

$$$application/javascript
//This is some JavaScript
var thing = 2 + "one";
$$$

It is also possible to abbreviate the ContentType to a file extension. For example:

{{{
$$$.svg
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="150" height="100">
  <circle cx="100" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="red" />
</svg>
$$$
}}}

This renders as:

$$$.svg
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="150" height="100">
  <circle cx="100" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="red" />
</svg>
$$$

And, finally, a JSON example:

{{{
$$$.json
{"teapot": "brown","inside":["milk","sugar",23]}
$$$
}}}

Which renders as:

$$$.json
{"teapot": "brown","inside":["milk","sugar",23]}
$$$

Unknown types render as plain text:

{{{
$$$text/unknown
Some plain text, which will not be //formatted//.
$$$
}}}

Which renders as:

$$$text/unknown
Some plain text, which will not be //formatted//.
$$$
