 * Hi
 * Firstly, thank you very much for such a useful plugin!
 * I wonder whether you could help me with a question?
 * Is it possible to add a shortcode within the title element of your own shortcode?
 * So… [tabby title=”Notes [display-frm-data id=573 filter=1]”]
 * My shortcode [display-frm-data id=573 filter=1] is from the Formidable Pro forms
   builder and will return the number of entries on a form, so ideally the tab would
   display Notes 5 for example.
 * Thanks in advance for any help or pointers you might be able to give
 * Regards
 * Matt

 * I have never tried this but I doubt that it is would be possible for nested shortcodes
   like this to work.
 * It *might* be possible to make an add-on plugin that creates a wrapper shortcode
   calling the shortcode functions of the two plugins to make a composite shortcode,
   or make a function using `do_shortcode` functions within a theme template however
   I have not tried this, and as it is not within the scope of the plugins features
   and would take some time to investigate and some custom code, it is not within
   the scope of the free support I am able to provide.
