 `[my-shortcode]` is a valid WordPress shortcode. If I'm on Visual Editor
 mode and paste the shortcode it's now a '''Shortcode''', right. It's ok.

 But now I want to say my visitors, ''hey this is my shortcode: [my-
 shortcode], you can use it.'', now when WordPress is rendering the page,
 it's thinking it's a shortcode, and producing a blank area there. I tried
 the HTML mode of the editor, and revamped the area with `[my-
 shortcode]` updated the page, it's working great, but...

 If I switch back to the Visual mode it's '''forgetting''' that it's not a
 shortcode, making it shortcode again, and so so...
