 * I don’t want to use shortcodes since I feel like this is an unnatural way of 
   writing in the editor. Why though when we have the regular `<pre>` formatting
   option. I found the option in the settings to load all scripts to use `<pre>`
   tags instead of shortcodes.
 * This unfortunately does not work. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
