Inline Code For a GitHub README Using MediaWiki - github

I'm writing a README.mediawiki file for my project called plainBlog on GitHub, but I want to add some inline code on it. What is the syntax for this? Also, what is the syntax for XML code (multiple lines)?
An example of inline code is located at github/markup, where we have lines like this: gem install wikicloth

There's a few:
Start each line with a space.
Text is '''preformatted''' and
''markups'' '''''can''''' be done
or:
<pre> Text is '''preformatted''' and
''markups'' '''''cannot''''' be done</pre>
For inline <code> spans there is no special syntax:
<code>Source code</code>

Using the mathematical environment inside a code block

I'm trying to force the mathematical rendering of a command in a code block on a GitHub markdown.
in the specific case the rendering of \varepsilon.
I saw that in normal markdown isn't possible, but maybe is possible in GFM (github-flavored-markdown).
I don't know if is it relevant or not but I'm using Obsidian to edit my .md files.
I'd rather use command instead of coping UTF symbol.
I've tried to use the dollar sign $ inside the code block but nothing happened changed
$\varepsilon$ - closure(ecc....)
I've tried to use the math tag after the opener of the code block, like ```math.
The final result result should be:
ε-closure(ecc....)

Include an external .md file in a docblock?

There are doxygen commands #include, #htmlinclude, #verbinclude and the rest of the family. Each of them is equivalent to inlcuding the file inline and surrounding it with a pair of start and end tags like #code, #htmlonly, #verbatim etc.
For the life of me, I cannot find the doxygen command equivalent to just pasting a markdown file into the docblock without surrounding it with any tags that modify the interpretation of the included fragment.
Is this possible? How?

Command Line Search Through Folder - Multiple Options

How can I use the command line to search through a folder of html and css files identifying html files that:
Have divs with class .highlight
Have img tags
Do not have divs with class .main
For simple queries you can use grep (avaliable on *nix platforms usually, can install on Windows as well) which uses regular expressions, but that would only work in one case here. For your image tags:
grep -R <img *.html
Otherwise you would actually need a parser because what you are talking about requires parsing html tags and examining their contents. There are many libraries out there for this- but it's not something built into the command line.
Using regular expressions to parse HTML: why not?

How to do strikethrough in a reStructuredText file hosted on GitHub?

I am converting a README.md file to README.rst. The reason is, I am going to make a package available to PyPi. I am forced to use .rst.
My conversion is nearly complete, but I have a strikethrough line in my markdown file, e.g.:
~~This text is crossed out~~
which renders on GitHub as crossed out. But I am unable to do this in reStructuredText. A similar post on StackOverflow suggests defining a strike like this:
.. role:: strike
:class: strike
And using something like this in the CSS file:
.strike {
text-decoration: line-through;
}
And do strikethrough like this:
:strike:`This text is crossed out`
But the problem is I have no control over CSS file of GitHub.
You can also use substitutions to make multiple uses easier. Put this markup somewhere in your file:
.. |ss| raw:: html
<strike>
.. |se| raw:: html
</strike>
Then just enclose the text to be struck out with |ss| & |se|:
One, |ss| two |se|, three |ss| strikes |se| you're out!
will render as:
One, two , three strikes you're out!
Just be sure to have space around the substitution elements, so they are parsed correctly. It looks a bit awkward here, but this is a contrived example.
Not so clean solution, but works for me.
.. raw:: html
<s>
This text is crossed out
.. raw:: html
</s>
This is not possible right now as the Markdown equivalent is top level GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax, whereas with the RST it is a document-specific style. On GitHub's repository rendering, there are currently no CSS additions permitted.
Or you can use https://www.thefancytext.com/strikethrough-text-generator.
S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶o̶u̶t̶
Ain't fancy, but if you copy and paste it in your editor, pandoc should take it.

how do I correctly paste multi-line xml snippet to github wiki when using markdown

I am trying to create a github wiki for my project. But I am unable to format a snippet from a Spring beans xml file, into this wiki. What is the proper way to do it? I tried using pre tag, code tag, the multiline code tag etc. But either it is not getting displayed at all or It displays everything in the same line.
not 100% sure if this is the same thing or not, but I just setup some xml snippets in my readme.md and used the
<myxml>
<someElement />
</myxml>
notation.
Replace all the less-than < and greater-than > symbols with < and > respectively, then wrap in <pre> and <code> as before.
An old question, however, the solution has changed in the interim. Simply use the ```xml tag on modern mark-down implementations.
```xml
<your XML here>
.```
Example:
<one>
<two>
</two>
</one>
It's that simple and it works far better than embedding the XML as described above.
