## Description
To show `text` to visitors we need to enter `<b>text</b>` in
our WordPress Text editor. For posting code online, three characters (`<`, `>` and`&`)
need to be escaped. We can do that online [tool](http://www.satya-weblog.com/tools/htmlencode.php),
manually converting `<` to < etc. or using easy to use Plugin. It also helps with
syntax Highlighter where you need to escape markup before putting that code in WordPress
Editor.
It escapes markup code inside ``, `` and ``.
The plugin can also
be used with any Syntax Highlighter where you need to escapes Markup inside ``, `` and ``. Just put your code inside Text Mode of Editor and then
either Save as Draft or Publish. Check you code now and it may have converted for
