Can I start a verbatim section with a single quote?

Asked by Sparhawk

I would like to have an inline verbatim block that starts with a single quote ('). For example (where verbatim is marked by <<code>>).

    Make this change <<'datadirectory' => '/var/www/owncloud/data',>>

Is this possible? '''[code]'' parses the second two quotes as the markup, making it '<<[code]>> instead of <<'[code]>>.

Afraid that is not possible, current wiki syntax uses double quotes for
inline verbatim.

Regards,

Jaap

Okay, thanks for the reply. Should I create a feature request? Perhaps it could be possible to escape the quote?

e.g. ''\'[code]''

There is a feature request for an escape character, but afraid something
like that is currently not implemented. Easiest would be to simply put a
space between the '' and the ' that way they are seperated.
