    Thank you. I did more investigation after posting that message, and have more details. I tried to use the combine feature and it does not work the way I expect. If I use plian text, for example abc <!–more–> 123 then it works. If I use abc <!–more–> 123 {[so] title} then I get the same result (i.e. no value for {[so] title}).

    My thinking was that I could combine the output of cut introtext with a <!–more–> in between, but the end result is just blank.

    Am I misunderstanding the purpose or behavior of combine?

    I’m trying to use the WYSIWYG editor, does your plugin work with the “rich editor interface” enabled?

    That one doesn’t do what I said above. It merely adds a new option in the “write” section that allows you to “pre-convert” your code before beginning your post. That is not very helpful, nor very user friendly.

    Can you give an example of one that lets you just write?

    I’ve clicked on several and one is in japanese, two have broken links, one is only for v1.5, a couple are specific to PHP and one that I tried simply puts an extra tab on your page so that you can paste it in and have it convert your code to entities so that you can then paste it into a new post. This is quite tedious especially if I have a hyperlink or a block of text in the clipboard already.

    Ideally it would be nice to just type my post (including any code), blockquote it and hit publish.

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason that WordPress’s editor doesn’t just convert lt and gt to entities?

    Well, I’m not exactly looking for color highlighting.

    What I’m saying is that when I typed in XSL, for example:
    <xsl:if select="abc"/>
    I would it expect it to either

    1. convert the less than and greater than sybols to character entities, or
    2. send the XSL through untouched, so that when I did a view source in the editor or the page the XSL would be there.

    Instead, it put the xsl into the database but refused to show it in the WYSIWYG editor and the page source.

    This strikes me as being inconsistent with any other program I’ve used before and can’t help but wonder if its a bug.
