You could plug into the
save_post<http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post>action.

if ( 'snippet_type' == $_POST['post_type'] ) // save
$post->post_content however you want

Of course, you are resaving it over the html_filtered save that just
happened, but you could control it. Maybe there is a better action, but the
meta field idea isn't a bad idea.

Subject: [wp-hackers] Ignore filtered_html
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi,
I'm working on a plugin for WordPress that adds Code Snippets. Brief
overview: admin people create/edit the code snippets and then when an
editor wants to include them on a page, they use a shortcode. However, I
want to make sure that when the code snippet(which is just a post type) is
being saved, no html filtering is done. My guess is it will be done with
kses_remove_filters(). I'm having trouble hooking to the right place
though. So, what would be a good hook to check that WP is currently saving,
check it's my custom post type and be early enough to run
kses_remove_filters()? Is content_save_pre with priority < 10 a good
choice. I do get the content and I guess it's early enough to run kses...
but can I check the post_type? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Use a meta box/custom field (i.e. turn off post_content in your CPT) and
you can control how it's saved.
As it's a code snippet I imagine a true code editor like code mirror would
be preferable over the standard html editor in WP?

Also note that there is a capability called unfiltered_html that has a
bearing on whether or not HTML is filtered by default.
