If you want to put arbitrary characters or HTML entities (including Unicode entities) into your text, use @< … >@. Inside this sequence, convert each "&" to "&", each "<" to "<" and each ">" to ">".
The escape sequence will decode HTML entities like < including:
HTML entities: @<U umlaut: ü>@
@<[[code]]>@
@<Hello world @@ !!!!>@
@<Something **not** bold>@
@<[[module ListPages]]>@
@<Copyright sign: ©>@
@<[[/code]]>@
Or, @<@<>@ and @<>@>@
Which gives:
HTML entities: U umlaut: ü
[[code]]
Hello world @@ !!!!
Something **not** bold
[[module ListPages]]
Copyright sign: ©
[[/code]]
Or, @< and >@
