 * Hi great plugin thanks, I want to show wp shortcode as code but it is parsing
   it. So I am having to remove on of the square brackets so that it doesnt parse
   ie. short-code]
 * If I enter [short-code] then it parses it and doesnt display it.
 * I am doing a tutorial and need to display the shortcode and not the parsed content.
 * Any help much appreciated.

 * If you want to prevent a shortcode from rendering, then you need to double up
   on the brackets.
