Comment:

 My code that I use is not shortcodes.  It is straight HTML for links to my
 social media sprites. and links to my social media accounts. When I saved
 it the widget put the line breaks in the code, so the links showed up in a
 list.

 When I save it and go back it doesn't show the code, it just shows the
 empty div I created for the formatting.
