Schutz einer HTML-Tabelle vor dem Rich-Text-Editor im Wiki

Wenn man im Wiki eine HTML-Tabelle benutzen möchte, um die Formatierung einer Portalseite durchzuführen, muss dem Wiki natürlich mitgeteilt werden, dass diese Tabelle nicht wie andere Tabellen behandelt werden soll. Andere Tabellen werden nämlich vom WYSIWYG-Editor immer in HTML und Wiki-Markup umgewandelt. Daher muss man diese Tabellen-Befehle mit dem Wiki-Befehl = und =

umschließen.
