# shortcode in text field

 * Hi there,
 * I was wondering if it is all possible to have shortcode in a text field that 
   can be executed. I see that if I use a WYSIWYG field then the shortcode will 
   execute, but if it is stored in a text field it cannot be executed.
 * Is there a way to have shortcode (that can be executed) from a simple text field
   instead of the bigger WYSIWYG editor.
 * Cheers
