Post Editor Zen Coding

Ever since i released my plugin Advanced Code editor I get a question or a feature request to add support to the post content html editor, and well that is not the idea behind advanced code editor, So just because I do see the benefit of having a syntax highlighted html editor in the post edit screen and last week Chris Rault as pointed to me that the syntax highlighting engine i use (codemirror) has a zen coding extension I knew I had to create a new plugin just for that 🙂 so here you go and i gladly present Post Editor Zen Coding plugin.

What does it do?

This plugin integrates the Codemirror Editor with the zen-coding extension into the WordPress native Editor, to let you edit your html in a syntax highlighted editor with line numbers and some other awesome features like an abbreviation engine which take a single line like this:

div#page>(div#header>ul#nav>li*4>a)+(div#page>(h1>span)+p*2)+div#footer

and turns it into a full page markup like this:

<div id="page">
  <div id="header">
    <ul id="nav">
      <li><a href=""></a></li>
      <li><a href=""></a></li>
      <li><a href=""></a></li>
      <li><a href=""></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div id="page">
    <h1><span></span></h1>
    <p></p>
    <p></p>
  </div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
</div>

.
