 * Hi – i have a custom shortcode in my theme. i put it into the editor – it shows
   up in the frontend. But sometimes it puts a space behind the output and the editor
   also shows it in red. Did i miss something?

 * Solved the issue by using the built in $$title$$ function instead of the shortcode.
   Use the droptdown menu on top of the content box to choose one of the built in
   functions.
