# 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 an HTML-comment to escape your code:

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

  This will only work if the `code` element contains exactly one comment and nothing else (not even spaces). E.g. `<code> <!-- some text --></code>` and `<code>text<!-- more text --></code>` will not work.

# 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.
