 * Hi Tablepress Team,
 * I’m currently using Tablepress to display entries submitted via Fluent Forms 
   on my WordPress website.
 * I would like to add a column that contains a dynamic shortcode for each row, 
   specifically to display a download button from the E2PDF plugin. The shortcode
   format is as follows:
 * `[e2pdf-download id="123" dataset="[entry_id]"]`
 * However, it seems that the shortcode is shown as plain text.
 * Does Tablesome support dynamic shortcode rendering for each row based ?
 * If yes, how can I properly implement or map the shortdcode into the column?
 * Looking forward to your guidance.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * TablePress fully supports Shortcodes in table cells, so that’s not the issue 
   here.
 * It seems though that you are trying to use a Shortcode `[entry_id]` inside another
   Shortcode `[e2pdf-download id="123" ... ]`?
 * That will indeed not work, as WordPress does not allow nesting of Shortcodes.
 * To further test this, I also recommend testing your Shortcode inside the normal
   page content, i.e. outside of a table.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
