Overview

This plug-in is totally designed for developers.

You know, that sort of people who post code snippets in their blog regularly and hardly use the Visual Editor,
because they write the HTML themselves. But they don’t like WordPress messing with their quotes and dashes,

In addition, it’s also lazy. It will try to avoid doing as much work as possible.
That is good, because it will not eat resources like other plug-ins out there.

Usage
