 * Could you please wrap the shortcode execution code in do_shortcode() so that 
   you can nest shortcodes instead of shortcodes? Right now, if you’ve got a column
   shortcode system or you’re making buttons using shortcodes or other things like
   that, you can’t put those shortcodes inside the Shortcoder shortcode. It should
   be an easy fix.

 * Hello, I think this is a process which many won’t use.
 * Anyway, if you want to use this feature, then open [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/shortcoder/trunk/shortcoder.php#L122](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/shortcoder/trunk/shortcoder.php#L122)
   this file and wrap `$sc_content_rep2` and `$sc_content_rep` with
 * `do_shortcode($sc_content_rep2)` and `do_shortcode($sc_content_rep)` respectively.
 * Thank you.

 * Please implement it.
 * It is extremely useful to make landing page shortcodes that use theme’s built-
   in shortcodes.
 * And it is even more powerful if the shortcode queries the database, as shortcoder
   cant.

 * can you provide an example of what this code looks like after you have wrapped
   everything up?
 * I would like to put shortcodes within shortcodes too. I feel like this should
   be a normal feature. I’m not complaining though, this is an awesome plugin. Thank
   you for your work.

 * The one thing that is seriously discouraging me from using this plugin is the
   lack of support. it seems like very little has been updated or modified since
   last year.
 * Features like this one should be supported within the plugin by default, you 
   would be surprised how many people might need it in their projects.
