Disable escaping html

I'm using SyntaxHighlighter Evolved to highlight code examples. E.g.

[csharp]
string s = "text";
Listint numbers = new Listint();
[/csharp]

When I first save it, it's ok, but when editing wordpress changes the text to

[csharp]
string s = quot;textquot;;
Listlt;intgt; numbers = new Listlt;intgt;();
[/csharp]   

After second edit it becomes

[csharp]
string s = amp;quot;textamp;quot;;
Listamp;lt;intamp;gt; numbers = new Listamp;lt;intamp;gt;();
[/csharp]   

How do I disable escaping? I want the content to be exactly what I type.

The author of SyntaxHighlighter Evolved suggests disabling all other plugins, then enabling them in series, in following solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-syntaxhighlighter-evolved-html-tags-gets-added-to-my-code

However, I found that this solution did not work to prevent html tags being added to the preview. However, as @Lessan Vaezi notes html tags appear only in the preview but not the published post.


I just installed SyntaxHighlighter Evolved, and while testing on an existing post I was dismayed to find that all the quotes " had been converted to " (the single quotes were fine). I was using the HTML editor.

In case you are also in this position, I found that it's just the post preview that is escaped - when you Publish it appears fine.


The visual editor will automatically escape HTML tags (the <> brackets in particular) to prevent code you intend to display from being interpreted by the browser as markup. The easiest way to make sure the content is exactly what you type is to use the HTML editor rather than the Visual editor.

I use a code highlighting plug-in called Code Colorer, and I input all of my "highlighted" code directly in the HTML editor just to make sure it appears exactly as I typed it.
