When you want to display characters that have other meanings in wikitext, you can escape the wikitext formatting by putting double backtick characters on either side of your text. The backtick shares a key with the tilde.

&references /&
[[rss url=&http://source.url/feed&]]
Replace&http://source.url/feed&with the URL of your RSS feed. By default, this will display the last ten updates as text links, but you can make the following modifications to how your feed will be displayed:
full URL to the feed (required)
title text to display above the feed (or blank for none)
how many items to show, default 10
description
to show each item's description text, either &true& or default &false&
to show the item date after the title, either &true& or default &false&
to show the author of the item after the title, either &true& or default &false&
the number of characters to show in the description, max. 250
to show each item's media enclosures (audio, video, pictures), either &true& or default &false&
The variables below will let you place dynamic content in your pages. Since pages are sometimes cached after being created, some items, such as the number of pages in the wiki, may not be updated immediately.
Supported variables
{$spacename}
{$spacetext}
Wiki description
{$spacedescription}
Page Count
{$pagesinspace}
Servername (the hostname of the wiki)
{$servername}

Organizer Count
{$organizersinspace}
Project Name
{$project}
Revision count

Variable modifiers
Modifiers are used to change the value of the variable into a different format. Modifiers are separated from the variable name with the pipe (|) character, and can be combined together & for example,&{$pagename|ignoreinclude|url}.
Output modifiers
URL escaping
{$server|url}
Scope modifiers
Ignore include
This modifier tells the variable to return the value of the original page it's on, even if that page is included in another page (see&).
|ignoreinclude
{$page|ignoreinclude}
Javascript variables
While editing Pages, it is possible to include Javascript inside an Embedded Object.
Several variables can be accessed from the client side to determine the current state of the application, as follows:
User/space definition variables
wikispaces_isUserLoggedIn
set if user has entered valid login information
wikispaces_username
set to current user's login handle
wikispaces_spaceName
set to current Space that user is viewing
URL construction variables
wikispaces_method
system - type of function being performed ( 'view', etc. )
wikispaces_object
system - type of object being viewed/modified ( 'message', etc. )
wikispaces_page
set to name of current wikipage
wikispaces_id
system - object identifier ( for messages )
Contents of Another Wiki Page
The entire contents of one page can be pasted into another with the&[[include]]&tag. This can be useful in breaking a large page up into smaller, more manageable pieces, or to create reusable components, like headers and footers. The only required attribute of the include tag is the&page&attribute.
Supported includes
