CodeExample plugin for Trac version 1.0 has been released

The CodeExample renders a code example box that supports syntax highlighting. It support three types of examples: simple, correct, and incorrect.

I've made the major changes to the plugin and now it is fully compatible with Trac 0.11 and Trac 0.12.

Changelog from version 0.3:

Support for multiply repositories (Trac 0.12 and upper) has been added.Collapsing/expanding code blocks have been implemented.Ability to change title has been added.Options using has been reimplemented.
Two examples (the first gets source from repository, the second contains the code inside):
{{{ #!CodeExample ## type = good ## title = GPGData sample code ## repo = MacGPGME ## path=GPGData.m ## regex="static void releaseCallback\(.*" ## lines=4 #!objective-c }}}
{{{ #!CodeExample ## type = bad #!haskell fibs = 0 : 1 : [ a + b | a <- fibs | b <- tail fibs ] }}}
These will be rendered as:

Gstreamer is the one of Collabora's flagship projects. This company is developing other projects based on Gstreamer, and Farstream is exact project for audio and video conferencing.

Most of the initial work on Farstream focused on the protocol agnostic API and the RTP plugin. Over the years, the RTP plugin has matured into a very complete RTP…
