The core of the problem is that WordPress's <a href=""http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wptexturize" rel="nofollow">wptexturize</a> function -- invoked by the theme to pretty up the typographical elements of the text -- modifies characters within <code> tags. I'm using a <blockquote><code> combination because if I were to use a <pre> block the shell command would stretch well past the right margin of the browser. (And if I artificially insert line breaks inside the <pre> block, those line breaks would be pasted into the Automator window.) I found <a href=""http://www.planetmike.com/journal/plugins/codequotes/" rel="nofollow">PlanetMike CodeQuotes</a> will reverse the changes made by wptexturize inside <code> blocks. I had to make one addition to the plugin because <a href=""http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.2/wp-includes/formatting.php#L24" rel="nofollow">wptexturize</a> was replacing regex <code>/(\d+)x(\d+)/</code> with <code>$1×$2</code>. So I added this (which will probably also get munged by the WordPress wptexturize function): $line = str_replace('×', 'x',$line); While tweaking the article, I also modified the "Run Script" automator action graphic to highlight the need to modify the "Pass Input" parameter. @ZZamboni — Thanks for trying this out and reporting the issues. The core of the problem is that WordPress’s wptexturize function — invoked by the theme to pretty up the typographical elements of the text — modifies characters within <code> tags.

I found PlanetMike CodeQuotes will reverse the changes made by wptexturize inside <code> blocks. I had to make one addition to the plugin because wptexturize was replacing regex /(\d+)x(\d+)/ with $1&#215;$2. So I added this (which will probably also get munged by the WordPress wptexturize function): $line = str_replace(‘×’, ‘x’,$line);

While tweaking the article, I also modified the “Run Script” automator action graphic to highlight the need to modify the “Pass Input” parameter.

It works fine under Leopard (10.5.5) for me. One note of advice: if you copy-and-paste the script, you have to make sure to replace the funny graphical characters (the x in "2x4" and the quotes around "1l,2r,etc.") with their ASCII counterparts, after you paste the text in Automator. Also, don't forget to change the "Pass input:" setting to "as arguments"! I made both of these mistakes, but after fixing them, it works beautifully. This is very cool, thanks for the instructions!

I was overjoyed to find this, but, alas, can not make it work. I've copied your directions scrupiously, but when I choose the print command, the pages progress bar goes by and--nothing happens. I've searched for the temp[number].err you mention, but I don't seem to have that. Any extra tips? Great sadness. I was overjoyed to find this, but, alas, can not make it work.
