Cipher

Description

Cipher is a settings-free plugin that allows commenters to publish (pre-formatted) code.

Functionalities:

  • Backticks (`) can be used as an alternative to the <code> tag to mark up both in-line and pre-formatted code within a comment.
  • Formatted chunks of code or pieces of code longer than 70 characters posted via the comment form automatically wrapped in pre+code tags.
  • Special characters in code submitted through the comment form automatically converted to HTML entities.

Installation

Upload in the ‘plugins’ folder and activate.

The snippet overlay doesn't open due to some Javascript error, but the wrapping button in post editor still works fine. UPD: a version with the snippet overlay fixed can be found here https://github.com/Exove/cipher. Would be glad to integrate the changes into the WP.org plugin, but can't find any contact of the author.
