 * Hello, I’we been searching for a plugin which provides me with a Code button 
   in the WordPress editor. The function I want is the same as on all the forums
   around, where you mark your text and press the Code button (Often a button with
   a # on it)
 * The search results which comes up when I try to find this is mainly code syntax
   highlighting, where you manyally have to enter `<code></code> and <pre></pre>`
   into all your code.
 * Maybe I want this later on, but for now I’m really just looking for a buttion
   I can press when I have marked what I want to show as code.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Not exactly what you want but, within the Visual Editor, there’s a “Preformatted”
   style option in the Paragraph dropdown that will insert the `<pre></pre>` tags
   for you.
