   AAron,

   I am a newbie to WordPress and I still have not dove into the WP code yet to figure out all of the functions and calls. I did install your Read Text File plugin and I have a question. The file that I am uploading on a daily basis it FTP’d from a Unix platform, so it has just an LF at the end of the lines. When Read Text File displays it, it has a blank line between each line of text. (see Recent Earthquakes under Active Earthquakes on http://AnimalSen.se).

   In you code, there is line of code:
   $rt_text = ”.nl2br($string).”;

   I would assume from the name of the function, it is converting a LF to a . Could this be adding the extra blank line to my text file? Is there a simple way to fix this?

   Thanks!
   Ed

   Your site’s style sheet is the problem.

   In your code it says…
   .entry-content {line-height: 30px}

   Do you have control over your style sheet? If so, you can reduce the line-height to 22px. But it is not an issue with the plugin.

   Aha! Thanks for this plugin! What I’ve really been looking for is something that would convert Markdown files, and I find that it was simple enough to tweak your process with a call to Markdown, SmartyPants, and my own Markdown extensions.

   Here are the results: http://elflife.net/galadae/2011/11/06/markdown-test/

   Firstly the short code is [read-text path="/wp-content/...."]

   Secondly if you want to use this to display code snippets, which is probably why you are here anyway, then you will need to html encode the contents of your file before displaying. I have modified the function to call htmlentities as follows:-
   
function rt_function ($text) {
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .$text["path"];
$contents = file($file);
$string = implode($contents);
$rt_text = ''.nl2br(htmlentities($string)).'';
return $rt_text;
}
