I checked in Tiki 1.9.8.3 and 1.10CVS (HTML not enabled in the wiki at either site). For inline escaping, the Tiki syntax is ~np~code~/np~. This worked in my check through several edit/save cycles. The syntax is listed in the help section at the bottom of the wiki edit page.

Tags are being stripped out in this reply, though. I don't know what the difference is between this site and my test sites.

yeah, my original post had the tags munged as i was describing, so let me try this again.

i've spaced out the characters that make up the html escaping of the html tags in the following, so you will have to extrapolate how the browser is supposed to render the code:

& l t ; dst:criteria & g t ;
    & l t ; dst:content & g t ;   & l t ; /dst:content & g t ;
 & l t ; /dst:criteria & g t ;

If i remove the spacing, then the browser renders the xml tags, but on saving it again the escaped html tags get converted into the HTML characters they represent, with the result that the next time the page is rendered, the browser attempts to process the tags as html.

Using the np approach doesn't affect the escaped characters; i'm not trying to stop code logic from executing or wiki logic from executing, i'm trying to keep html/xml tags rendering on the page and not processed by the browser.

what tikiwiki needs is a way to escape single characters and that works even if other wiki syntax is not processed. I can use the numeric escaping ~ 6 0 ~ dst:criteria ~ 6 2 ~ (with spaces so you can see the code), but that will NOT work inside np tags.

I hope this makes more sense, but this is precisely the problem: maintaining escaped HTML.

thanks,
