WP-Syntax Download Extension

Description

This plug-in adds download facility to
WP-Syntax, putting a
pretty caption to each syntax highlighted code snippet, which contains
a permalink anchor and a couple of action buttons: “raw” and
“download”.

The usage is easy. You just put an attibute filename="..." to
a <pre> element and the snippet will have a caption.

I strongly recommend that you use the TinyMCE Valid
Elements

plug-in to make the non-standard attributes of the <pre> element
treated as valid and get preserved in the visual editor. Configure it
so that the pre element can have the following attributes:

  • class
  • dir
  • escaped
  • filename
  • highlight
  • id
  • lang
  • line
  • style
  • title
  • wrap

You can alter the visual style of captions with CSS via admins menu.
This plug-in was first developed for PHP 5.2.12 and is currently
tested only with 5.4. It will never work with PHP 4.
