===Q: Can I put preformatted text inside a numbered list?===
A: It used to be possible almost until 1.5.7 version. But as of now [15:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)] the following does not work anymore:
 
If you use the &lt;nowiki> tag and the &lt;pre> tag like this:
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
# one
# two<pre><nowiki>
here are a couple lines
of preformatted text
</nowiki></pre>
# and the numbering
# does not start over
</td>
 
<td>
<pre><nowiki>
# one
# two&lt;pre>&lt;nowiki>
here are a couple lines
of preformatted text
&lt;/nowiki>&lt;/pre>
# and the numbering
# does not start over
</nowiki></pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
===Q: Can I generate a frame-like structure on a Wiki page?===
(I have a chart generated dynamically in Bugzilla and I would like to display it within my Wiki page.)
 
A: ???
 
"Technically, you can do this with html div's and inline css styles, i.e. use a div with height and width set and overflow set to scroll"

: A good suggestion, but that won't work for the originally requested use case. You can't make your DIV pull external content from Bugzilla, like frames do. You can only lay out the wiki page content in a frame-like design. [[User:82.200.65.190|82.200.65.190]] 09:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

===Q: Can I display only so many lines of text?===
I want to set up a template that pipes in 'n' lines of text to a page, and then provides a link to the rest of the article. Can I do this?
 
: Not in the current version of MediaWiki, as far as I know. -- [[User:Alexey Feldgendler|Alexey Feldgendler]] 09:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 
===Q: How can I place a note underneath and to the right of an image (but keeping the image by default to the left of the page)?===
