Wordpress Plugin: Code Autoescape
I was trying to post code into a Wordpress post recently and noticed that when I tried to use the <code> tags the code just didn't show up. So I looked around a bit and found out that it was a common occurance. There are quite a few times I've actually wanted to show some code in a post and now I can. The Code Autoescape Plugin allows you to do just that with out it disappearing.
This is what your code will look like in a post after you activate the plugin and place it between the <code> tags:

So now you can actually share code in your posts and it does show up. I found out the hard way. I was describing the Optimal Title Plugin and listed the code for it and didn't realize for aobut 3 days that the post had a big blank spot. Can't imagine what people were thinking...lol
1. Download the plugin: codeautoescape.txt
2. Rename the file into codeautoescape.php and put it in your wp-content/plugins directory.
3. Activate the plugin from WordPress administration page.
