A DWiki page (technically, any wikitext, so comments too) can now start with the line '_#pragma pre_' to declare that the entire rest of the page is simply preformatted text and should be barfed out as such (minus the #pragma line, which is swallowed). '_#pragma plaintext_' is accepted too. This is a much more convenient and maintainable way to stick plaintext files (such as program source or something) into a DWiki than indenting the entirity of their text one space. Note that this does not make the page come out as text/plain. The page is still text/html and fully templated, it's just that the wikitext is one big
 lump, instead of more sophisticated formatting.

It's unlikely that DWiki will acquire any other sorts of pragmas (eg
to say 'format this as nicely HTML-ized Python code'), partly because
ChrisSiebenmann is dubious about the 'nicely HTML-ized' bit of any
formatters since they invariably involve aesthetic decisions that
people (eg, him) can and do object to. Having an easy way of including
plaintext is the 80%-90% solution, and that is the DWiki way.
