Problem With the '=' Sign

When using the '=' sign using this template, a bug might happen, as shown here and here.

Instead of showing the text, it shows {{{1}}} because the argument 1 is missing, which is because it thinks it was sent as another argument, because of the '=' sign.

I don't know how to fix it, I don't even know if it CAN be fixed, considering this is a template and considering it seems to interpret it as an argument to the template. However, it needs to be fixed, the two examples I've just shown are an excellent example of why.

The only work around that I know of is to surround the code in <nowiki> tags or just reword what you're saying. Legend26 (talk | contribs) 00:31, 20 January 2012 (EST)

Oh, thanks for the workaround. Also, I wish I didn't need to copy/paste the ` character, as I didn't find a way to create it with my keyboard. :/

Oh, nvm about creating it with my keyboard. Just after adding this message, I looked at the ASCII code of it (with Lua's live demo, because Lua is so useful!) and now, I can just create it with alt+96. :)

I, hum, don't have the same keyboard as most people here.

You can make it work by using {{`|1=code that contains these = ok}}

Oh, but of course! How didn't I think of that? Instead of letting the first argument be the default one, I can just specify it's 1, and it'll do the same thing, except it'll force it to be 1.
