Standard shortcodes do not render assets in the editor.

[tdrayson]

When you create a shortcode and enqueue an asset using the native WordPress wp_enqueue_style, you would assume that the styles would also be enqueued in the editor.

This however is not the case.

How to reproduce:

1. Install test plugin
2. Add a new shortcode to any breakdance page [tct_test_plugin]
3. View the frontend, see Hello World in red
4. View the editor preview, see no styles applied to shortcode Hello World text

Questions:

1. Is there a required way that shortcodes are supposed to be written to ensure styles are rendered in the editor.
2. If the above answer is yes, then why is this the case? You are making it unnecessarily difficult for plugin developers, requiring them to do something different for your singular plugin?
