 * Hi,
    thank you very much for the great plugin. I love it but noticed a small 
   and annoying problem though: The generated pre tag contains a “;” character within
   the class value. This renders the whole containing page W3C invalid.
 * Example:
    [pre class=”brush: xml**;**“]my fancy xml code here[/pre] (replaced“
   <” and “>” with “[” and “]”)
 * Could you please tell me where to change this?
 * Thank you very much in advance and keep up the excellent work!
