HowTo: Add Your Favorite Quicktags

Each time I browse the WordPress Documentation site, I found great recourses that we are missing!
One of these resources is Podz’ WordPress Guides. I`m not sure about you, but I think a lot of blogger misses such resources!

One of the great articles Mark (aka Podz) wrote was the Quicktags Guide. In this article Mark will teach you how to add more Quicktags to your Code Editor Quicktags list. This is a super tutorial, especially for those who don’t use the Rich Editor, like me.

Adding the frequently used Quicktags will save you a lot of time, and in my case these tags would be h3, sup, left/right floated(<span>) objects(e.g. Adsense blocks).

I really think that using Quicktags to customize your posts will save you a lot of work, as for me, each time I want to put an Adsense block within a post, I need to enclose it with a span and add a specific style. For this I added two Quicktags to do the job for me:

edButtons[edButtons.length] = new edButton('lspan'
,'Lspan'
,'<span class="ladsense">'
,'</span>'
,''
);

edButtons[edButtons.length] = new edButton('rspan'
,'Rspan'
,'<span class="radsense">'
,'</span>'
,''
);

With two CSS classes:

.ladsense {float:left; padding:0 3px 3px 0;}
.radsense {float:right;	padding:0 0 3px 3px;}

This way, all I have to do is to insert the Adsense html comment provided by the great Adsense-Deluxe plugin and enclose it with one of the above tags with one click!

Questions For You:

Do you use Code Editor?
Do you use specific Quicktags more often?
