Raw HTML Plugin for WordPress
Introduction
Recently I needed to put some style definitions and a JavaScript function in a post on another blog that I have. I wasted several hours trying to do this, because WordPress insisted on putting backslashes in front of my apostrophes, inserting superfluous <p> or <br /> tags in place of newlines, and generally breaking my HTML in various horrible ways.
In the end I decided to just go and write a plugin that would let me disable the automatic formatting that WordPress applies to post content. This plugin adds a set of shortcodes that you can use to “protect” specific parts of your post and prevent WP from messing with them.
Download & Installation
Requirements :
- WordPress 2.8 or later
- If you use the free version, I strongly recommend disabling the visual editor. It (the editor) can mess up your code even if you use this plugin.
Installation is straightforward – download the zip file, unzip, upload the raw-html folder to /wp-content/plugins and activate it in the Plugins tab.
Usage
There are two ways to use the plugin. First, to turn off “smart quotes” and other built-in filters for an entire post, use the checkboxes that Raw HTML adds to the “Edit Post” screen:
If you want to prevent a specific part of your post or page from being processed and “texturized” by WordPress, wrap it in ... or <!–raw–>…<!–/raw–> tags. The two versions work exactly the same, with one exception – the <!–raw–>’s won’t be visible to your visitors even if you deactivate the plugin.
Example :
<!--raw-->
This
is
a ‘test’!
<!–/raw–>
Result :
This
is
a 'test'!
If you view the source code of this page, you will see that the newlines are still there, and the apostrophes haven’t been converted/escaped.
Other Notes
This plugin is provided AS IS, with no guarantee that it will work on your site.

hi there,
when activating raw html, all other plugins that parse the post-text in some kind of way aren’t executed any more.
when deactivating add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wsh_extract_exclusions’, 2); all works fine – more or less
breaks are keeped, only thing is, that edit text was:
-raw-
bla
bla
bla
-/raw-
is in html now:
-raw–/raw-
bla
bla
bla
the rest is as it should be.
have a hint why?
regards,
thomas
When you say other plugins aren’t executed any more, do you mean that they no longer work on the text in [raw]…[/raw] tags, or that they stop working completely, even in posts that don’t use the [raw]” tags?
If it’s the former, then that’s the intended result – Raw HTML protects text within [raw] tags from being modified by WordPress and most other plugins. This is why shortcodes and other dynamically generated code won’t work inside [raw] tags.
On the other hand, if other plugins stop working completely, that sounds like a plugin conflict. Could you tell me what plugins you’re using so that I can install them and test them for compatibility issues?
