 * Hi..Hopefully, you can advise me on the best approach to this..I am creating 
   a very large table that lists a collection of video games…I have a column titled“
   Genre” and occasionally a cell might contain more than one genre option..
 * For example, I have a Game Title that contains the following as its Genres: Racing,
   Simulation, Casual
 * My issue is – I created a Dropdown for the Genre Column with the ColumnFilter
   Extension…However, I want to display each Genre individually…rather than it showing
   an entire string together.
 * For Example:
 * GENRE DROP DOWN
    -Fighting -Racing -Racing, Simulation, Casual <—- Not this -
   Simulation -Casual
 * Is there some way that I can add multiple “Genres” into a cell – however, not
   have it display as one long string – but, instead each word independently?
 * Hopefully, this makes some sense…thanks for your help.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you can use another Shortcode parameter, like
 *     ```
       [table id=123 datatables_columnfilterwidgets=true datatables_columnfilterwidgets_separator=", " /]
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
