### NOP -- template text not to be expanded in instantiated topics
- Syntax: `%NOP%`
- In normal topic text, expands to <nop>, which prevents expansion of adjacent variables and wikiwords
- When the topic containing this is used as a template for another topic, it is removed.
- Syntax: `%NOP{...}%` **deprecated**
- In normal topic text, expands to whatever is in the curly braces (if anything).
- **_%X% Note:_** This is deprecated. Do not use it. Use `%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}%` .. `%ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%` instead (see [[TWikiTemplates]] for more details).
