 * The footnotes do not work when placed in an image caption. Is there a way around
   this?

 * Answering my own question…
 * I did find this information on how to [implement ‘nested shortcodes.’](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/113416/nested-shortcode-inside-caption-doesnt-process)
 * It works, but I would like to know whether or not the plugin developer considers
   this to be a good solution.
