 * For some time I have wondered if this plugin works or not. Finally I have come
   to the conclusion that it works – but only with certain themes.
    Unfortunately
   not that well with the ones I use, but whether or not it is the themes (which
   are becoming increasingly more complex) or the plugin (complexity squared?) –
   I really can’ tell. I see many reports here originating from the same pond: not
   showing – text not fitted etc. It became clear to me while doing a complex (well
   to me it is complex) little .div. thing to my presentation page. I was using 
   the standard 2012 theme, where things worked, then moved it to my target theme(
   kippis) and the .rps. stopped working. Just a vertical slit. I added .pre. – ./
   pre. tags around the shortcode and ye and behold – it appeared. Of course fonts
   are off and the text extends infinitely but it appeared. I tried using firebug
   to debug the situation, but I can’t figure whats killing .rps. [kippis sample](http://nordjylland.wp.bridge.dk/)
