## Description

Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block adds inspector controls to the WordPress core Code 
block:

 * Language select with Prism.js highlighting in the editor and on the frontend
 * Optional line numbers
 * Tab key indents inside the block (Shift+Tab outdents); optional spaces instead
   of tabs
 * Configurable tab size (2 / 4 / 8)
 * Optional copy button before or after the code block, aligned left / center / 
   right (or hidden)

No separate block type — authors keep using the standard Code block.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/zeddotes-enhanced-code-block` (
    or this directory name).
 2. Run `npm install` and `npm run build` if `build/` is not present.
 3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
 4. Insert a Code block and open the **Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block** panel in the 
    sidebar.

## FAQ

### Does this replace the core Code block?

No. It extends `core/code` via block filters.

### Where does highlighting run?

In the block editor and on the frontend, via a bundled Prism.js build.
