Using Shortcode for a form

    Hello,
    I’m trying to use the shortcodes for a form! It’s a very simple HTML form, but when I save it into the “insert custom code” area I run into a fun problem: The <textarea></textarea> in there causes the Code text area to close! It works perfectly on the first save, but after that anything following the textarea renders as a part of the plugin UI! Haha.

    I tried using html entities, but after the first save they become actual html again. I also tried to do it as a PHP echo with the same issue. Stumped!

    Is there some kind of escaping that needs to be done in the plugin side, or is there a different work around?
