 * Hello,
 * first of all, I’d like to thank you for this great plugin.
 * What I’d like to ask is if we can use custom names for shortcodes, so that we
   can use [divider] instead of [sc name=”divider”].
 * Thank you

 * If you have a plugin name conflict, i.e. there is another plugin, that uses the
   same shortcode `sc`, please let us know and notify the author of this plugin.
 * If this is just for some inconvenience reason, well, you can always copy & paste.
 * Having said that, there is a plugin called [pluginception](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pluginception/),
   which makes writing new simple plugins very easy. Install it and create your 
   plugin `divider` and make it to do the job or to call `[sc name=”divider”]`.
