 * I would like to spend less room to the comments listen, but the documentation
   on shortcodes is rather confusing, which is perhaps the reason why I con’t get
   the resuly I want on one line like:
 * date-post-name comment
 * Thanks

 * Hi, [@dickscholten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dickscholten/) .
 * I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulty with our article about how to use 
   the [Better Recent Comments shortcode](https://barn2.co.uk/kb/better-recent-comments-shortcode/).
   Thanks for getting in touch so we can help you sort it out.
 * To display the `date-post-name comment` on one line, please could you try:
 * `[better_recent_comments format="{date} - {post} - {author}: “{comment}”"]`
 * I hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes. I’ll set this as resolved 
   for now.
 * Best regards and keep safe,
