Preserve Code Formatting

This plugin preserves formatting of code for display by preventing its modification by WordPress and other plugins while also retaining whitespace. NOTE: This plugin does NOT handle posts containing blocks. For such posts, use the built-in code or preformatted blocks to format your code for display. However, this plugin would still be needed if you have text-based posts from before using the blocks-based editor. NOTE: Use of the visual text editor will pose problems as it can mangle your intent in terms of code tags. I strongly suggest you not use the visual editor in conjunction with this plugin as I have taken no effort to make the two compatible. Notes: Basically, you can just paste code into code, pre, and/or other tags you additionally specify and this plugin will: Prevent WordPress from HTML-encoding text (i.e. single- and double-quotes will not become curly; “–” and “—” will not become en dash and em dash, respectively; “…” will not become a horizontal ellipsis, etc) Prevent most other plugins from modifying preserved code Prevent shortcodes from being processed Optionally preserve whitespace (in a variety of methods) Optionally preserve code added in comments Keep these things in mind: ALL embedded HTML tags and HTML entities will be rendered as text to browsers, appearing exactly as you wrote them (including any br tags). By default this plugin filters ‘the_content’ (post content), ‘the_excerpt’ (post excerpt), and ‘get_comment_text (comment content)’. Example: A post containing this within code tags: $wpdb->query(" INSERT INTO $tablepostmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES ('$post_id','link','$extended') "); Would, with this plugin enabled, look in a browser pretty much how it does above, instead of like: $wpdb->query(— INSERT INTO $tablepostmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES ('$post_id','link','$extended') ―); Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage
