Code In WordPress

[Unveiled]

I’m trying to show code in WordPress posts with the <pre> tag. I’m including a script in my theme, but my only problem is having the html tags automatically converted to entities like &lt; and &gt;

Is there an automatic way to do this through the functions.php file?

Here’s what I’d do..

put this in your functions file:

Code:

function callback($buffer){
$convert = “/([<])(.*)([>])/”;
$replace = “<$2>”;
$buffer = preg_replace($convert, $replace, $buffer);
return $buffer;
}

and this goes after your opening pre tag:

Code:

and this before the closing pre tag:

Code:

the function will convert all of the brackets into the entities.

Since I’m using WordPress, using PHP within my posts wouldn’t be ideal. I need a way to do this automatically.

Edit: I’ve decided to deal with it and install the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin instead of trying it myself.
