When, as I do, you want to include some bits and pieces of software code in a WordPress post, it starts to become a serious headache. As a matter of fact, WP has not really been prepared for this and it creates a number of issues. Those I already encountered here:<\/p>\n
So, I looked for a plugin (nearly everything in WordPress is done by adding on of those marvellous little code gems that can be included in a few seconds into the basic configuration) adapted to this task, easy to install (I don’t want to be stuck with heavy maintenance just for this), easy to use.<\/p>\n
Here is the summary of what I checked and my opinion regarding them.
\n<\/p>\n
Just insert your code between <pre><code> and <\/code><\/pre>.<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/p>\n
Cons:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your code is stored in an external file, is displayed with indentation and auto line-return, may be downloaded separately.<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/p>\n
Cons:<\/p>\n
Just insert your code between <pre><code> and <\/code><\/pre> (some other tags can also be defined).<\/p>\n
Pros:<\/p>\n
Cons:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Just insert your code between <pre><code> and <\/code><\/pre>.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just insert your code between <pre lang=”php”> and <\/pre> (specifying PHP language or any other language).<\/p>\n Pros:<\/p>\n Cons:<\/p>\n In view of the current evolution of this type of plugins, even the author advises to use Priyadi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Code Autoescape<\/a> instead of his own.<\/p>\nPriyadi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Code Autoescape<\/a> v2.0<\/h3>\n
