  For displaying source code on my pages I use pre tag; recently I noticed that some text disappears if I visit my pages while logged out. It seems that the reason for this problem is <span class=”skimlinks-unlinked”> that are getting inserted inside the pre tag and mess up everything.

  Looks like the same problem was previously fixed for code tag as described in here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/skimlinks-messed-up-inside-code-tags-an-actual-error

  For example, this:

  <pre>
  wss.on("connection", function(ws) {
  </pre>

  Becomes this on the page:
  <span class="skimlinks-unlinked">wss.on("connection</span>nction(ws) {

  I was expecting this answer, but the original issue still seems like a bug.

  Thank you! Code tags seem to work normally now.

  Yep, that’s what I said. Code tags do seem to work, but [pre] do not, which looks like a recently-introduced bug, because my pages had worked fine before with [pre] tags as well.

  The question is: Why you use that tag (pre) for posting Source Code?
  You should use this and not that tag:
