Support for external file URL with file extension detection

[victorromeo]

Any chance version 4 will support external URL capabilities? I'd prefer to refer to files hosted outside of the website, as this will allow me to use my preferred IDE to edit the source code directly, then commit using GIT.

Great plugin. Timely upgrade to take on the Crayon users also.

Hi @victorromeo ,

such feature was projected for the mainline release but due to its complexity it will only be available within the pro/enterprise versions (Gutenberg+TinyMCE+Shortcode). And it may requires a cache like Redis or mongodb to store the snippets.

background: it wastes a lot of my time to answer+investigate support requests related to misconfigured hosting environments...t

Thanks for the reply. The complexity is not immediately obvious but that makes sense.

Hello there,
Is there any enhancement on this subject ?
This plugin is by far the most advanced one for displaying code (not only the enlightenment but the tabs system too) but I wanted to keep these pieces of code on GitHub.
Thank you !

basic support has been added to the pro dev branch
