I am trying to format the result provided by wpdatatables by formatting the shortcode with a colour and a font size. However it does not appear to obey this.

Example that does not work:

Text section with the below

<strong><span style="font-size: 30px;">[wpdatatable_avg table_id=3 col_id=23]</span></strong>

Example that does work:

HTML Section with:

<center><font size=30 color=white><b>[wpdatatable_avg table_id=3 col_id=23]</b></font></center>

It seems the short code takes the item out of the div into a div of its own and ignore formatting. See attached screenshot. 

I have another deployment on which this works fine and both are using 2.1. Wondering if someone has seen this before?

When I use short code to display a value: 

Example: [wpdatatable_avg table_id=3 col_id=23]

I want to change the font to make it bold and the size of the value returned. As a result I do the following in a text box:

<strong><span style="font-size: 30px;">[wpdatatable_avg table_id=3 col_id=23]</span></strong>

This formatting gets ignored. 

If I add it as HTML it gets formatted as I would expect.

I have a work around using HTML but just making you guys aware in case its a bug (with the latest wordpress) as I used to be able to do this through a text box.
