Exactly what I needed. You could improve the plugin by making the textarea field
look more like an IDE, with system fonts, syntax highlights and so on.

Worst plugin ever. Horribly incomplete documentation. Was never able to get any 
support. Never got it working right. I’d keep complaining but i don’t think i can
in my swear words any longer.
