 * Hi,
 * Useful plugin. Thanks.
 * One problem I encountered: (v 4.3.0.3 of plugin) i needed to insert an html line
   break ( br ) tag in my menu title – the plugin responded by no longer processing
   the proper awesome font substitutions on the menu item.
 * i traced the problem back to:
 * file: n9m-font-awesome-4.php
    line: 121
 *  – it appears the regex in pregmatch was choking on any html in menu text. So
   I fixed it up:
 * changed from:
 * `'/(<li[^>]+class=")([^"]+)("?[^>]+>[^>]+>)([^<]+)<\/a>/',`
 * changed to:
 * `'/(<li[^>]+class=")([^"]+)("?[^>]+><a[^>]+>)(.*)<\/a><\/li>/',`
 * i’m quite surprised no one seems to have come across this before. i wonder if
   you could apply my fix your core code?
 * many thanks.
 * Rob Cain

 * Definitely. I want to test it out a bit, but we’ll be sure to include it in a
   future update. Thanks for catching and patching it!
