## Description

The « Light Code Block » plugin is a simple and lightweight solution for inserting
and displaying code snippets in posts and pages.
 It works by adding a custom « 
LC » button to the TinyMCE (Classic) editor or a code block in the Gutenberg editor.

The inserted code will be shown on the front end in a clean, readable format.

### Usage

 * Install and activate the plugin.
 * Go to the post or page edit screen.
 * In the TinyMCE (Classic) editor, click the **« LC »** button in the toolbar.
 * In the popup window that opens, paste or write your code, and click **OK**.
 * Save or update your post.

The code will be saved inside a special block and displayed on the front end within
a `<pre>` tag with the class `mce-simple-code-block` (i.e., `<pre class="mce-simple-
code-block">...</pre>`).

To insert code using the Gutenberg editor, you first need to add a Classic (TinyMCE)
block, and then use it to insert your code.
