For characters I could not properly insert in the command line (had issues
with both line breaks in certain situations and with the (C) copyright
symbol), I created a Template on my Wiki which included just that character,
and used {{subst:TemplateName}}, where TemplateName was something I could
easily type in the command line (e.g. {{subst:\n}} and {{subst:(C)}}). You
could try creating a Template:ExMark which has just a ! in it (and
<noinclude> bits for documentation and categorization), and then use
{{subst:ExMark}}.---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Chris Watkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pywikipedia discussion list" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:12:23 -0600 Subject: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] How do I insert an "!"
