 * Hi, firstly I think this plugin is a really good idea. I’ve spent a couple of
   hours playing with the UI and I’d really like to incorporate this into my projects.
   At the moment I’ve hit a bit of a wall – I could really do with the ability to
   add a WYSIWYG/editor inside the widget UI – I’ve looked through the code and 
   could see textareas, text inputs, select elements and so on, but no editor – 
   is this possible?
 * Thanks again, and I look forward to your response!
 * Dan

 * It’s not possible at this time. See [https://github.com/wp-shortcake/shortcake/issues/236](https://github.com/wp-shortcake/shortcake/issues/236)
