 * Hello,
 * Using the columns in a nested fashion as such:
 *     ```
       [bs_row class="row"]
       [bs_col class="col-xs-6"][bs_row class="row"]
       [bs_col class="col-xs-6"]Text[/bs_col]
       [bs_col class="col-xs-6"]Text[/bs_col]
       [/bs_row][/bs_col]
       [bs_col class="col-xs-6"]Text[/bs_col]
       [/bs_row]
       ```
   
 * Doesn’t work. Thats a 2 column layout. The left panel has 2 columns nested in
   it.

 * Sorry I didn’t address this earlier, unfortunately it is a limitation of the 
   WordPress shortcode system.
