Syntax highlighting is broken

[o-simardcasanova-net]

Hi,

I tried to use Google Docs on a technical blog where I need math and syntax highlighting. This add-on is phenomenal, and could be extremely useful for my workflow. But when I turn my Google Docs into a WordPress draft, the outputted code is a bit messed up.

For instance this

[code language="r"]
df1$key <- paste(df1$first_name, df1$last_name, sep="")
df2$key <- paste(df2$first_name, df2$last_name, sep="")
[/code]

is outputted like this

</p>
<p>df1$key <- paste(df1$first_name, df1$last_name, sep="")
df2$key <- paste(df2$first_name, df2$last_name, sep="")</p>
<p>

Syntax highlighting works though.

Maybe there exists a workaround I'm not aware of, or maybe this issue is related to some kind of bug in the add-on code?

Thank you!

Precision: I use a WordPress.com blog.

@simardcasanova Thanks for the report. That's interesting, because the add-on shouldn't be stripping shortcodes like [code]. Would you mind sharing a doc that has this behavior with george.hotelling@automattic.com so I can take a look?

@georgeh I just sent you an email.
