Example Use Cases

WordPress Shortcode Developer

The ⟨Pre⟩-serve plugin can be handy if you're a WordPress developer working on shortcodes of your own.

For instance, with this plugin installed you can publish code samples (in WordPress) without needing to worry about the [shortcodes /] that you're writing about being parsed by your own site, and without needing to [[escape]] them either.

Simply put, anything inside <pre>, <code>, <samp>, `backticks`, or ```fenced``` code blocks will be preserved automatically when this plugin is active; i.e., inner content is preserved instead of being processed by WordPress content filters such as wpautop, wptexturize, do_shortcode, or any other.

WordPress Enthusiasts

If you often write about WordPress and you publish code snippets and other examples for your viewers, then this plugin could help you also.
