Using HTML in Wiki Text
Trac supports the display of HTML in any wiki context, by using the #!html WikiProcessor.
However, this HTML has to be well-formed.
In particular, you can't insert a start tag in an #!html block, resume normal wiki text and insert the corresponding end tag in a second #!html block.
For creating styled
How to use #!html
To inform the wiki engine that a block of text should be treated as HTML, use the html processor:

Note that Trac sanitizes your HTML code before displaying it. That means that potentially dangerous constructs, such as Javascript event handlers, will be removed from the output.
The filtering is done by Genshi and the output will be a well-formed fragment of HTML. This means that you cannot use two HTML blocks, one for opening a

Explicitly specifying no classes is not the same
as specifying no class attribute, as this will remove
the wikipage default class.
Note that the contents of a #!div block are contained in one or more paragraphs, which have a non-zero top and bottom margin. This leads to the top and bottom padding in the example above. To remove the top and bottom margin of the content, add the compact class to the #!div. Another predefined class besides wikipage and compact is important, which can be used to make a paragraph stand out. Extra CSS classes can be defined via site/style.css.
For spans, you should use the Macro call syntax:
Wiki Markup
Hello
[[span(''WORLD'' (click [#anchor here]), style=color: green; font-size: 120%, id=anchor)]]!
Display
Hello
WORLD (click here)!
How to use #!td and other table related processors
The #!td or #!th processors should be used to create table data and table header cells, respectively. The other processors #!table and #!tr are not required for introducing a table structure, as #!td and #!th will do this automatically. The |- row separator can be used to start a new row when needed, but some may prefer to use a #!tr block for that, as this introduces a more formal grouping and offers the possibility to use an extra level of indentation. The main purpose of the #!table and #!tr is to give the possibility to specify HTML attributes, like style or valign to these elements.

Note that by default tables are assigned the "wiki" CSS class, which gives a distinctive look to the header cells and a default border to the table and cells, as can be seen for the tables on this page. By removing this class (#!table class=""), one regains complete control on the table presentation. In particular, neither the table nor the rows nor the cells will have a border, so this is a more effective way to get such an effect rather than having to specify a style="border: no" parameter everywhere.

HTML comments
HTML comments are stripped from the output of the html processor. To add an HTML comment to a wiki page, use the htmlcomment processor, available since Trac 0.12:
Wiki Markup
{{{#!htmlcomment
This block is translated to an HTML comment.
It can contain and &entities; that will not be escaped in the output.
}}}
Display
The character sequence -- is not allowed in HTML comments, and will generate a rendering error.
