How to suppress wikitext formatting

Hello all

Please can someone tell me if there is now a way to suppress wikitext formatting.
I am trying to include a what3words address in a tiddler but cannot display the following

///what.three.words

because it renders as

/what.three.words

I found this discussion https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1473&ved=2ahUKEwiBpeOtrNuOAxVPQEEAHRP1En8QFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1j96Uxl_d1_uqFGCaRrCW1 but no solution.

You can do it in several ways:

You can use single backticks: `///what.three.words`

Which gives you this:

///what.three.words

Or you can put it into a text widget like this:

This text, <$text text="///what.three.words"/>, is not rendered

Which will look like:

This text, ///what.three.words, is not rendered

There are a lot more ways as well, even using rules pragma to disable the italicized slashes for that Tiddler by putting this as the first line of the Tiddler:

\rules except italic

Then it will ignore all // slashes but still allow for other formatting, but only in that Tiddler.

As CasperBooWisdom wrote if you put \rules except italic at the start of your tiddler it will look like this

All the rules / rule-names can be found at the ControlPanel → Info → Advanced → Parsing tab

Many thanks @CasperBooWisdom and @pmario

Just the advice that I needed.
