[Moin-user] Braces within braces within braces...

[Nir Soffer]

The best way is to put the code example on a sub page using this format:

	#format plain

	{{{
	I'm a preformatted text
	}}}

and include the example page in your main page:

	[[Include(preformated example)]]


Another way is to use attachments:

	inline:example.txt
