title: WikiText Parser Modes
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

The WikiText parser has three modes:

* ''pragma mode'' - the parser will recognise only [[pragma mode WikiText|Pragma]] punctuation 
* ''block mode'' - the parser will recognise only [[block mode WikiText|Block Mode WikiText]] punctuation
* ''inline mode'' - the parser will recognise only [[inline mode WikiText|Inline Mode WikiText]]

The parser [[transitions between these modes|WikiText parser mode transitions]] based on the text it encounters. In addition, there are  [[places where the parser ignores WikiText|Places where the parser ignores WikiText]] punctuation.
