 * Hello,
 * I’m using Crayon Syntax Highlighter plug in but it only displayes 2 lines of 
   code and it cleans the code before it displays anything. I was hoping it would
   just display want i enter into the crayon window.
 * example entire into the crayon window:
    <html> <header> <title> OpenEgg – Single
   select dropdown list box using HTML </title> </header> <body> <select name=”selectcountry”
   > <option>Canada</option> <option>Mexico</option> <option >United States</option
   > </select> </body> </html>
 * after saving the information i get the following:
    header>OpenEgg – Single select
   dropdown list box using HTML</header> <select name=””selectcountry””> <option
   >Canada</option> <option>Mexico</option> <option>United States</opt
 * any idea why its only displaying the out put in 2 lines and at the same time 
   why is it cleaning the code out.
 * I’m new so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated

 * Well that was easy. It turns out that adding in unencoded tags in the visual 
   editor causes them to be added as real tags (so an input will become a real input,
   but only in the visual editor, it won’t be an input on the post…). I fixed it
   by specifying ‘encode’ on the output in my function 🙂
 *     ```
       ed.addCommand('showCrayon', function() {
       	te.showDialog(
           	function(shortcode) {
           		ed.execCommand('mceInsertContent', 0, shortcode);
           	},
           	function(shortcode) {
           		// This will change the currPre object
           		var newPre = jQuery(shortcode);
           		jQuery(currPre).replaceWith(newPre);
           		// XXX DOM element not jQuery
           		currPre = newPre[0];
           	}, 'tinymce', ed, currPre, 'decode', 'encode');
   
       	if (!currPre) {
       		// If no pre is selected, then button highlight depends on if it's used
       		me.setHighlight(!s.used);
       	}
       });
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this works for you so everyone else can have a slice of the cake:

 * You can just upload “/util/tag-editor/crayon_te.js” nothing else was changed.

 * Hello Akarmenia,
 * I upload “/util/tag-editor/crayon_te.js and it seem to have fixed the problem.
   I only uploaded just that one file nothing else.
 * Google Chrome version 18.0.1025.151m Works
    FireFox version 11.0 Works
 * IE version 8.0.6001.18702 works but not consistent with the other 2 browsers:
   –
   Line numbers aren’t appearing. – Every other line in Firefox and Chrom is shaded
   but not in IE 8. Either case, its not a deal breaker and its readable.
 * Thanks for the help,
    cheers

 * Cool, I’ve got others on IE 8 having a few issues so I’ll look into that.
