 * Hi, after the last update, it stopped parsing shortcodes inside the highlighted
   area
   I had this:[text]<br />[cf_quic_cloud_ips]<br />[/text]it showed only `[
   cf_quic_cloud_ips]` instead of the content of the shortcode. After rollback to
   the previous version, it works fine. Can you please reverse this please?Thank
   you!

 * Hey [@pixtweaks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixtweaks/),
 * Are you using the block editor? If so, could you try using the Syntax block instead
   to see if the same issue persists?

 * I looked into this issue, and this is actually the intended behavior after we
   pushed a fix for the bug that parsed nested shortcode, as noted here:
 * [https://github.com/Automattic/syntaxhighlighter/issues/32](https://github.com/Automattic/syntaxhighlighter/issues/32)
 * You may add the below snippet to roll back this feature while remaining on the
   latest SyntaxHighlighter version.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'syntaxhighlighter_htmlresult', function( $content ) {
       	return str_replace('[', '[', $content);
       });
       ```
   
 * We recommend using plugins like Code Snippets to add filters to your site: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)

 * Hello [@pixtweaks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixtweaks/)!
 * I just noticed that the snippet shared by [@bluejay77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluejay77/)
   appeared weird in the browser, as it involves HTML entities. Here’s the snippet
   you should use: [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/fjorgemota/8d8ad57079d15b278dcc8a1253b894f6/raw/6f35255bbaf0d73d13c4f12157c0bc0207ddbfb2/snippet.php](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/fjorgemota/8d8ad57079d15b278dcc8a1253b894f6/raw/6f35255bbaf0d73d13c4f12157c0bc0207ddbfb2/snippet.php)
 * The rest of her comment still applies. =)
