Preserve Code Formatting is a WordPress plugin that prevents WordPress and other plugins from altering code inside <code>, <pre>, and other specified tags. It retains whitespace and prevents HTML encoding, ensuring code displays exactly as intended. The plugin is intended for classic editor users; block editor users should use the built-in code or preformatted blocks instead.
