How to use

This plugin provides several methods of achieving the same thing:

• Instead of using <pre><code> elements, use <script type="text/plain">

  <script type="text/plain" class="language-markup">
  <p>Example</p>
  </script>

• Use a HTML-comment to escape your code

  <pre class="language-markup"><code><!--
  <p>Example</p>
  --></code></pre>

FAQ

Why not use the HTML <template> tag?

Because it is a PITA to get its textContent and needs to be pointlessly cloned. Feel free to implement it yourself and send a pull request though, if you are so inclined.

Can I use this inline?

Not out of the box, because I figured it’s more of a hassle to type <script type="text/plain"> than escape the 1-2 < characters you need to escape in inline code. Also inline code is not as frequently copy-pasted, which was the major source of annoyance that got me to write this plugin.
