Known problems

Example	Wiki code	How it looks	Possible solution
<pre> inside boxes will render '"`UNIQ--pre-000000XX-QINU`"'	{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<pre>echo "Hello, world!"</pre>|lang=bash}}	'"`UNIQ--pre-0000000D-QINU`"'	Don't use <pre> tags.
<source> inside boxes will render '"`UNIQ--source-000000XX-QINU`"'	{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<source type="git">bla-bla</source>|lang=xml}}	'"`UNIQ--source-00000011-QINU`"'	If meant to be used in XML, then use <<nowiki />source>, otherwise the source tag is deprecated
if <> symbols inside boxes and <nowiki> is used than <> will be replaced with &lt &gt	{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|<nowiki ><></nowiki>|lang=text}}	&lt;&gt;	Don't use lang parameter. Or don't use <nowiki> and replace all | with {{!}}
