    Thanks for amazing plugin!

    There is a small issue with previewing static pages if they don't have the content tab enabled (useContent = 0)

    [staticPage]
useContent = 0
default = 0

    Plugin then throws error in Frozendo\PagePreview\Classes\StaticPageController on line 37. It says that $data array doesn't have key 'markup'.

    An easy fix would be to replace the line with something like this:

    'markup'   => isset($data['markup']) ? $data['markup'] : '',

    Would be awesome if you could fix this, thanks
