Description

The Replace Pencil plugin allows dynamic text replacement within code blocks by using placeholders. Users can define a custom prefix in the settings and wrap any text they want to replace in the chosen placeholder format, such as angle brackets. In Reading Mode, an input field and a clear button appear beside the code block, enabling on-the-fly updates. A copy button simplifies exporting the modified content to the clipboard, while a sidebar eraser button resets all changes instantly.
