Encodes text written inside "<pre>" tag. == Description == Many of us post code and scripts online on our blog and for that we need to escape those codes to html entities. If, we are going to show `text` to visitors we need to enter `<b>text</b>` in our Wordpress HTML editor. We also want to use syntax Highlighter for decorating our code. Server side highlighter plugins are doing html tags conversion to html entities but those who are using Client-side (JavaScript) syntax Highlighter need to convert characters manually or using any [tool](http://www.satya-weblog.com/tools/htmlencode.php). I am using [Google Syntax Highlighter for WordPress](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-syntax-highlighter/) which is a client-side Syntax-Highlighter. So, I need to take care of `<, > and &` before posting any code online. This plugin will avoid that extra work. This code only come into effect when we save a post and It only affect those text written inside `
` tag.
