Use of {{{ in messages

Creole did not wish to allow me to format my signature to my liking. Apparently {{{ must be on a line all by itself.
There may be some confusion with resect to {{{ }}} tags.
This tag is known as the non-wiki tag. Its purpose is to prevent translating any wiki (creole) tags enclosed by the braces into HTML. It comes in two forms - inline and block. When used inline the text it encloses is put into the output without translatation and placed inside <tt> ... </tt> HTML tags. The block form also prevents translation but puts the output text inside <pre> ... </pre> tags.
Example of inline mode :
The following asterisks should display and **not** be translated into bold, but this should be bold.
Example of block mode :
The **asterisks** are displayed and not translated.
If the effect you wanted was to have your signature show up in monospaced font, inline with the test of the text, the use ## markup instead.
Eg. Your Signature is now monospaced.
