In entering Bugs:Item7647 I wanted to show the line of code that should be working but isn't.

I finally ended up using a screenshot:

I tried

which results in

<form method="post" action="https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewauth/Support/SID-01894#EditPreferences" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="editpreferences"><input name="prefsaction" type="hidden" value="edit" /><input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit Group Settings" class="twikiButton" /></form>

I tried

which results in

%<nop>EDITPREFERENCES{ "%<nop>%SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiPreferencesForm" editbutton="Edit Group Settings" }%

I tried

which results in

!<form method="post" action="https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewauth/Support/SID-01894#EditPreferences" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="editpreferences"><input name="prefsaction" type="hidden" value="edit" /><input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit Group Settings" class="twikiButton" /></form>

Note: I did not, initially, try

%EDITPREFERENCES{ "%SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiPreferencesForm" editbutton="Edit Group Settings" }%

But how can I get this result with verbatim? And if not... shouldn't that be possible to do?

Discussion and Answer

I checked, the plugin uses the beforeCommonTagsHandler() which, unlike the commonTagsHandler() is not aware of verbatim. Not exactly sure why it is done so early in the rendering pipeline, could be to catch variables in a pristine state.

This item could be handled as a bug, well, low prio bug.
