 * First of all – great plugin
 * By deactivating the WYSIWYG you can edit the code in frontend which is incredibly
   cool but I wonder if there is a chance to get the real output code (incl. Paragraphs
   etc.)
 * By using tags like 
    the editor is overruling the user and removes those tags–
   is there any chance to change that?
 * Have you ever thought about code highlighting in the frontend?

 * If you don’t use a WYSIWYG editor to edit the content at all, you’re free to 
   add <p> tags by hand etc. and they will be preserved. You will find that it’s
   a lot of work, though.

 * You mean adding a code editor with syntax highlighting.
 * Not until now. It seems like the audience for this feature is pretty limited.
 * Also, if I were to add such a feature, you wouldn’t be able to intermingle code
   blocks with normal content, as I think you’re expecting.
