This plugin lets you use raw HTML or any other code in your posts. One way to use it is to wrap a part of your post in special tags (below) to prevent WordPress from converting newlines to HTML paragraphs, escaping apostrophes and so on. This is very useful if you need to add a CSS block or JavaScript to your post.

RawHTML will also add some new checkboxes to the "Edit" screen that will let you disable certain WP filters on a per-post basis. This way you can :

• Disable wptexturize (this filter creates smart quotes and other typographic characters).
• Disable automatic paragraph creation.
• Disable image smilies.
• Disable convert_chars (this filter converts ampersands to HTML entities and "fixes" some Unicode characters).

Using the plugin

To prevent a part of your post or page from being filtered by WordPress, wrap it in <!--start_raw-->...<!--end_raw--> or [RAW]...[/RAW] tags. These two versions work exactly the same, but the latter may be handy if you're using the visual editor (not recommended).

Example : This

is 

a 'test'!
<!--end_raw-->

Notes

• I strongly recommend to turn off the visual editor when you want to edit a post that contains raw HTML/JS/CSS.
• Personally, I prefer the <!--start_raw-->...<!--end_raw--> syntax. These tags are formed as HTML comments, which means they won't be visible to your visitors even if you deactivate the Raw HTML plugin. On the other hand. the [RAW]...[/RAW] tags would show up.
