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.
