Limitation
[edit ]<nowiki>...</nowiki> and <nowiki /> tags and their content are internally replaced by a code, which may affect the result:
"{{sub|<nowiki/>*café noir|1|9}}"gives"'"`UNIQ--"."{{sub|*café noir|1|9}}"gives"café noir".
Automatic newline
[edit ]Due to the automatic newline feature/bug a newline is added before any "*", "#", ":", and ";" in the substring, except when the substring starts at the start of the string:
"{{sub|*test|1|4}}"gives"test".
