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