A shortcode used to display other shortcodes, html tags, and ascii characters without having them reverted by the WYSIWYG editor. Does [ ], < >, and custom chr codes with several easy to remember shortcodes for each.
Screenshots
It's a shortcode, you can't really do it justice with a screenshot, so here's a picture of Maru the cat.
How do I add this into my posts?
To display the shortcode
If you need opening AND closing shortcodes, you’ll have to do it twice. So, to display [flv]uploads/maru.flv[/flv] without invoking it, you would type [brace]/flv[/brace]uploads/maru.flv[brace]flv[/brace].
To display the html tag <div> without invoking it, you would type [arrow]div[/arrow].
To insert a custom ascii character, you would type [chr num=”##”] where ## is the character code you want to print.
Why did you make this?
I have a WordPress blog about WordPress stuff (very meta), so it’s helpful to be able to display code like this without having it executed, or reverted by the editor.
Can I change the shortcode?
Yes, just open literal-shortcode.php and add or change what text you want to trigger the shortcode in on of the arrays near the bottom. If this gets any kind of popularity, I’ll make that easier by adding an options page.
Can you add this feature I just thought of?
Can I? Yes. Will I? Yes, if I think it would be a helpful addition. I’m trying to keep things clean and simple, but there’s always room for improvement, so let me know if you think a feature is lacking!
