It works perfectly !!!

I hope the developer continues to update it to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of WordPress.

Really impressed

Used with a block-based theme and it worked perfectly. Love that there is no configuration required and it auto-detects <code> and <pre> tags. Great plugin, thank you! This topic was modified
