→About those extension tags
=== About those extension tags ===
The special tags <code><nowiki><texcode></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><xmlcode></nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki><context></nowiki></code> on our wiki are handled by an extension (<codett>context</codett>) written a long time ago by Patrick Gundlach. That extension converts the parsed XML output from mediawiki into HTML code that looks 'right'. In normal wiki pages this works, because the mediawiki parser is quite forgiving (more like a HTML browser than a XML parser) and does some recovery attempts itself when a user types in something that is not quite well-formed HTML/XML.
For example, in a normal wiki page you do not need to properly quote the attributes of <code><nowiki><context></nowiki></code>. And the structure within <code><nowiki><xmlcode></nowiki></code> does not have to be properly nested.
