We can add this template like so:
{| class="wikitable"
 
!wiki code
"<tt>...so we can then use setDammage<nowiki>{{sic}}</nowiki> to...</tt>"
!result
 
|-
which will produce:
| {{hl|"…so we can then use setDammage<nowiki>{{sic}}</nowiki> to…"}}
 
| {{hl|"…so we can then use setDammage{{sic}} to…"}}
"...so we can then use setDammage{{sic}} to..."
|-
 
| {{hl|"…so we can then use <nowiki>{{sic|setDammage}}</nowiki> to…"}}
Alternatively we may highlight the ''sic'' statement thus:
| {{hl|"…so we can then use {{sic|setDammage}} to…"}}
 
|}
"<tt>...so we can then use <nowiki>{{sic|setDammage}}</nowiki> to...</tt>"
 
which will produce:
 
"...so we can then use {{sic|setDammage}} to..."
