* Hello
* Thanks so much for the plugin
* I’m having trouble with mailto:
* I enter:
`[field sf_team_member_email
escape=true]`
* but when I save the page/post – it reverts to:
* `[field sf_team_member_email escape=true]`
* Which doesn’t work.
* Any idea how I can get this to work?

* Hello,
* The shortcode being removed from inside the HTML attribute sounds related to
recent WP changes which are discouraging this use case. To get around this, the
plugin provides a `[link]` shortcode. Details in the documentation, under Field-
> Link to field value.
* In a new plugin update, I added a parameter to use a field value for e-mail.
* ```
[link field=sf_team_member_email mail=true][field sf_team_member_email][/link]
```
* The field value is escaped by default.
