 * I have a plugin that uses a shortcode in a post to do some stuff.
 * Part of the plugin creates a button in the tinyMCE that helps create this code,
   but several users have told me they always use the plain html editor when posting.
 * I can’t seem to find a way to modify the links/buttons on the plain html editor
   to provide the same functionality.
