 * I just tried nesting a text block in another text block.
    In preview of first
   level text block, the other text block is inserted. However, when this text block
   is inserted on a page, the second level text block is not inserted but just its
   shortcode shown…

 * Do you have the attribute `plain="1"` on your shortcode? I see the same results
   when I add plain which means text only.
 * You can add a filter to run `do_shortcode` on the text:
 *     ```
       function hg_text_blocks_shortcode_html( $content, $atts )
       {
         return do_shortcode($content);
       }
       add_filter('text_blocks_shortcode_html', 'hg_text_blocks_shortcode_html', 10, 3);
       ```
