## Description

**4WP Advanced Code** enhances **core/code** blocks and provides a dedicated **Advanced
Code** block with syntax highlighting, copy and share controls, optional notes, 
and SoftwareSourceCode JSON-LD for technical content.

A plugin by [4wp.dev](https://4wp.dev/). **4WP** is our project brand; the letters“
WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This
plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress.

Source code: [github.com/4wpdev/4wp-advanced-code](https://github.com/4wpdev/4wp-advanced-code)

#### Key features

 * **Syntax highlighting** — bundled Highlight.js (no CDN on the frontend)
 * **core/code wrapper** — upgrade existing Code blocks without re-entering content
 * **Advanced Code block** — per-block language, theme, copy/share, and SEO fields
 * **JSON-LD** — optional SoftwareSourceCode structured data
 * **Settings** — global defaults under Settings  4WP Advanced Code

#### Privacy

Copy and share actions run in the visitor browser. When share opens Twitter or LinkedIn,
the visitor leaves your site to those third-party services. No personal data is 
sent to 4wp.dev.

### Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 * **Advanced Code** — syntax-highlighted code with copy, share, and SEO controls.

No. Existing **Code** blocks keep working. When advanced features are enabled, the
plugin wraps their output on the frontend.

Yes — globally in Settings or per block in the block sidebar.
