 * Is there a way to retain empty lines when I paste in a few blocks of code into
   one tag enclosure? It shows in the source but when it gets converted when you
   view the published page.

 * Interesting. This is a WordPress issue though, not a plugin issue. The same thing
   happens if you wrap your code in `<pre>` tags.
 * I’ve opened a ticket on the matter: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15367](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15367)
 * Getting the real issue fixed instead of my plugin trying to work around the issue
   is be the best solution. 🙂
