Preserve formatting of code for display by preventing its modification by WordPress and other plugins while retaining original whitespace and characters.

NOTE: Use of the visual text editor will pose problems as it can mangle your intent in terms of ``` tags. I do not offer any support for those who have the visual editor active.

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
• 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 <coded_br />).
• By default this plugin filters 'thecontent' (post content), 'theexcerpt' (post excerpt), and 'getcommenttext (comment content)'.

Example: A post containing this within ```: $wpdb->query(" INSERT INTO $tablepostmeta (postid,metakey,metavalue) VALUES ('$postid','link','$extended') ");

Would, with this plugin enabled, look in a browser pretty much how it does above, instead of like: $wpdb->query(— INSERT INTO $tablepostmeta (postid,metakey,metavalue) VALUES ('$postid','link','$extended') ―);
