 * I tried it out and I see the shortcode ([EXPAND][/EXPAND]) on the screen and 
   it doesn’t expand.
 * Once you fix it you may want to put how to use it in the readme because I first
   tired the shortcode it was based on and then had to dig in the code to see the
   shortcode.

 * Just to update, it works. The theme my client is using had `remove_filter('the_content','
   wpautop');` that was blocking the filter.
 * Sorry about that, also the documentation for others that download this would 
   still be a good idea.
