[Plugin: Back-End Instructions] Prevent auto translation of shortcodes

Sorry stomperz – I didn’t see this until *just now* when I was searching for something. (you tagged it incorrectly, so the question has never showed up for me).

You can do this by using the HTML character for the square bracket (which is & #91; – no space, of course), instead of typing just the bracket itself. (probably too late to tell you this, but I thought I’d pop it in here since I could, just in case.) It is a good thought about stripping the shortcodes so you can see the instructions for them, but unfortunately (in my experience anyway) people still want to use shortcodes within the instructions for various reasons, so stripping them all would send a wave of complaints on that end as well.

I would imagine someone wanting to pop in code of any kind might have this issue, so it’s a good thing you brought this to my attention, i think. So I’ll see if I can’t work out some sort of “commenting system” (like maybe what the forums here use?) to filter out stuff you want to show the “code” for.

Again, sorry it took so long – I never saw this. I’ve put in the proper tag, though, so it’ll show up for me now.
