This plug-in adds download facility to WP-Syntax, putting a pretty caption to each syntax highlighted code snippet, which contains a permalink anchor and a couple of action buttons: "raw" and "download".

The usage is easy. You just put an attibute filename="..." to a <pre> element and the snippet will have a caption.

I strongly recommend that you use the TinyMCE Valid Elements plug-in to make the non-standard attributes of the <pre> element treated as valid and get preserved in the visual editor. Configure it so that the pre element can have the following attributes:

• class
• dir
• escaped
• filename
• highlight
• id
• lang
• line
• style
• title
• wrap

You can alter the visual style of captions with CSS via admins menu. This plug-in was first developed for PHP 5.2.12 and is currently tested only with 5.4. It will never work with PHP 4.
