About TabbedCode
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Adds Shortcodes for adding code examples in tabs to your blog.
The Plugin adds two shortcodes.
The first is [tab_group] and it needs an id. This id must be unique!
The second is [tab_code] and it takes the language from your code snippet as parameter.
You can use all languages from highlight.js.
When no language is provided the text will be interpreted as a simple text.
Example:
[tab_group id="hello-world"]
[tab_code lang="javascript"]
console.log("Hello World");
[/tab_code]
[tab_code lang="sql"]
SELECT * FROM hello_world;
[/tab_code]
[tab_code]
Hello World
[/tab_code]
[/tab_group]
