 * Hi,
    Is it possible to modify the plugin to be able to nest shortcodes inside
   another? It currently breaks when I try to do that.
 * I need to split second [one-half] column in two so my layout can look like this:
 * [ [—50%—] [ [-25%-] [-25%-] ] ]
 * Thanks.

 * +1 on this. Took me all of five minutes to patch, but I don’t want to have to
   do that every time my client upgrades the plugin without asking me first.

 * Sorry everyone, I have been really busy lately. I have fixed this problem in 
   v 1.2.
