Saving code and pasting it anytime?

    I have a fairly large string of code that I put at the bottom of every post. It’s always the same and I always have to copy/paste it from another post or a saved document. Is there a way to save it and paste it via a toolbar button, whenever I want.

    I really thought Ultimate Tiny MC would have this feature but I can’t seem to find it.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Do you use a plugin to allow code in post content?

    I don’t think so… Maybe code is the wrong word.

    It’s basically a string of text that’s had special formatting. ie-particular font size, color, style, and hyperlinked.

    Finding help with WordPress is easy… the hardest part is knowing how to ask for it.

    Maybe the shortcode Api could work for you.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

    Try it with this in your theme’s functions.php:

    function paste_text_callback( $atts ) {
	$text = <<<'TEXT'
Paste your text here

This is a new 'paragraph
TEXT;

	return apply_filters('the_content', $text);
}
add_shortcode( 'paste_text', 'paste_text_callback' );

    Paste your text between the TEXT tags.

    Now you can use this in your post content: [paste_text] and it will be replaced by the text.
