 * Hi Smooth Slider team,
 * I put smooth slider on a WP installation and it cycles content just fine, but
   it seems to be stripping out HTML styling for the content within the posts. For
   example, I have two elements in <div> tags that render fine when the page/post
   is viewed by itself, but when in the slider, it only renders as plain text.
 * Did I miss a setting for this or is this by design? If the latter, could you 
   point me to where the stripping occurs and I’ll comment it out? (I know, hacky,
   but I need a quick workaround).
 * Thanks,
 * TC

 * I was able to solve this issue, the plugin provides its own menu item for this
   purpose, it’s just a bit buried. For future individuals:
 * When in settings, go to Basic Settings -> Miscellaneous. Look for the “Retain
   these html tags” field, and type in what tags you’d like retained, <div>, etc.
