Native field type for code snippets

There may be an existing 3rd party fieldtype but it’d be good to have a native version.
Typical usage for posting code snippets in an entry. Right now it’s a pain having to encode various characters before adding to an existing field that you use for markup.

For now, how about using {textarea:form_prep}?

Ah that’s good, I must have glossed over that as it refers to “form”. Thanks Derek, A dedicated fieldtype would still be good 😉

Yeah it’s not it’s intended purpose and there are probably some things that a native “code sample” field could have added value for. But form prep will make sure that HTML characters are protected from rendering but displayed properly.
