[Plugin: Sunburst Code Prettify] Dealing with WordPress's auto formatting

    So I’m really liking the idea of the plugin, but I’m running into an issue of dealing with the auto formatting that WordPress adds to all it’s stuff. As a simple example I want to do the following in a post, inside the HTML editor for that post:

    [prettify]
<div id="home_outer_wrapper">
	<div id="home_inner_wrapper">
	</div>
</div>
[/prettify]

    If I use the plugin as is I get no output because the divs are rendered. I can go into the plugin modify the sunprettify_shortcode function to improve things (though I still get a lot of issues with WordPress adding p tags, br tags, and other gunk. I’m wondering if I’m missing anything on how I should be using this plugin.

    My (hackish) modifications to the sunprettify_shortcode function:

    function sunprettify_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
   extract( shortcode_atts( array(
      'class' => 'prettify',
      ), $atts ) );

   //START modification
   $content = str_replace('<p>', '', $content);
   $content = str_replace('</p>', '', $content);
   $content = str_replace('<br/>', '', $content);
   $content = str_replace('<br />', '', $content);
   $content = str_replace('<br>', '', $content);
   $content = str_replace('<', '<', $content);
   $content = str_replace('>', '>', $content);
   //END modification

   return '<pre class="prettyprint ' . esc_attr($class) . '">' . $content . '</pre>';
}
add_shortcode( 'prettify', 'sunprettify_shortcode' );

    Morcarag,

    For code you want to enter into the html editor, you can just use the pre or code tags around your code
    <pre class="prettyprint"></pre>

    Example:

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-php">
$ideas_posts = $wpdb->get_results(
"SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE post_status = 'draft'
AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY post_date DESC");
</pre>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-php">
foreach ($ideas_posts as $memberpost): </pre>

    Morcarag,

    I have been thinking about this, and you are right – adding the content stripping for the visual editor would be helpful for the shortcode. I will add it to the next release.

    Thank you for your recommendation and code contribution.
