loading with `async` / `defer`.

## FAQ
### Does WP Coder support Network activation?
Currently, WP Coder doesn’t support network-wide activation. If you’re using WordPress
Multisite, activate the plugin individually on each site within your network.
### Where can I find detailed documentation?
Visit our comprehensive [official documentation](https://wpcoder.pro/category/documentation/)
for detailed guides and step-by-step instructions.
### How can I use shortcode content in HTML code?
If you include content within the shortcode like `[wp_code id="1"]Some Text[/wp_code]`,
you can insert this content into your HTML snippet using the variable `{{$shortcode_content}}`.
### Can I use shortcodes from other plugins within WP Coder snippets?
Absolutely! WP Coder allows you to embed shortcodes from any plugin within your
HTML snippet content. You can also use WP Coder’s own shortcodes, offering enhanced
flexibility for customization.
### What is the purpose of tags in the ‘Publish’ block?
Tags help categorize and organize your snippets. When creating or editing a snippet,
assign tags in the ‘Publish’ block to easily filter and manage your snippets later.
### How do I use the link feature in the ‘Publish’ block?
The link feature helps you track where your shortcode is placed. Simply enter the
URL of the page where your shortcode is inserted in the ‘Link’ field when creating
or editing your snippet.

Works, except string literals, like message = We can make change for ${totalString}
with ${nickelsString} nickels and ${penniesString} pennies!; document.querySelector(‘#
status’).innerHTML = message; , display with missing whitespace. Instead of just
adding my js code to the page, this plugin breaks it into some weird eval function
that doesn’t work with whitespace: eval(function(p, a, c, k, e, d) {
