Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block

Description

Zeddotes Enhanced Code Block adds inspector controls to the WordPress core Code block:

  • Language select with Prism.js highlighting in the editor and on the frontend
  • Optional line numbers
  • Tab key indents inside the block (Shift+Tab outdents); optional spaces instead of tabs
  • Configurable tab size (2 / 4 / 8)
  • Optional copy button before or after the code block, aligned left / center / right (or hidden)

No separate block type — authors keep using the standard Code block.
