simple, works.

Although if you have the perfectly corrected and formatted html, save it offline in case an accidently trip through the visual editor destroys your carefully laid out code. (or get the pro version)

То, что нужно! =)

Спасибо! РАБОТАЕТ =) Простой плагин позволяющий без лишних танцев и приблуд избежать автоформатирования от WordPress & TinyMCE =)

Does not work

Just installed this and has no effect when using the WordPress Code Editor, items between the raw tags still get reformatted by wordpress.

emmetを利用できるプラグインで最も優れています

テーマエディター上でemmetを利用したい目的から導入しました。emmetの利用はもちろん、豊富なオプションでカスタマイズ性も素晴らしいです。設定のUIも大変わかりやすいです。最終的に導入に至らなかった点は、テーマエディター上でファイル更新を行うと、ページが更新され元に戻せない点です。ページ更新やphpのエラーメッセージ表示・位置などがデフォルトの仕様であれば是非導入したいと思います。
