It only shows the wiki markup, without rendering it.

If you have $EnablePmSyntax, the markup will be highlighted.

In individual pages, agreed, I'd use "if false" too.

In Site.LocalTemplates, it is easier to locate your template without "if 
false", but I have previously wrapped the templates in [@...@] to 
prevent their processing when I open this page.

With (:markup class=norender:) and $EnablePmSyntax = 2 you can see the 
highlighted markup when you read the LocalTemplates page, and also when 
you edit it.

Personally I find it nicer and easier on the eyes, but obviously it is 
not required. A template in an individual page with "if false" it will 
still be highlighted when edited.
