 * So I installed this plugin for the first time and activated the default “Example
   HTML shortcode”. Then I opened my website (using WooCommerce) and this snippet
   is no where to be found. How exactly is this supposed to work?
 * In the snippet I can see it is printing following words so I am expecting they
   will be displayed somewhere on site but no. I even check HTML source in browser
   and this sentence is not there.
 * `$out = '<p>write your HTML shortcode content here</p>';`
