Functions
Functions that are not part of a class:

add_shortcode($tag, $func)   X-Ref
Add hook for shortcode tag.

There can only be one hook for each shortcode. Which means that if another
plugin has a similar shortcode, it will override yours or yours will override
theirs depending on which order the plugins are included and/or ran.

Simplest example of a shortcode tag using the API:

<code>
// [footag foo="bar"]
function footag_func($atts) {
return "foo = {$atts[foo]}";
}
add_shortcode('footag', 'footag_func');
</code>

Example with nice attribute defaults:

<code>
// [bartag foo="bar"]
function bartag_func($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'foo' => 'no foo',
'baz' => 'default baz',
), $atts));

return "foo = {$foo}";
}
add_shortcode('bartag', 'bartag_func');
</code>

Example with enclosed content:

<code>
// [baztag]content[/baztag]
function baztag_func($atts, $content='') {
return "content = $content";
}
add_shortcode('baztag', 'baztag_func');
</code>

param: string $tag Shortcode tag to be searched in post content.
param: callable $func Hook to run when shortcode is found.
since: 2.5

remove_shortcode($tag)   X-Ref
Removes hook for shortcode.

param: string $tag shortcode tag to remove hook for.
since: 2.5

remove_all_shortcodes()   X-Ref
Clear all shortcodes.

This function is simple, it clears all of the shortcode tags by replacing the
shortcodes global by a empty array. This is actually a very efficient method
for removing all shortcodes.

since: 2.5

do_shortcode($content)   X-Ref
Search content for shortcodes and filter shortcodes through their hooks.

If there are no shortcode tags defined, then the content will be returned
without any filtering. This might cause issues when plugins are disabled but
the shortcode will still show up in the post or content.

return: string Content with shortcodes filtered out.
param: string $content Content to search for shortcodes
since: 2.5

get_shortcode_regex()   X-Ref
Retrieve the shortcode regular expression for searching.

The regular expression combines the shortcode tags in the regular expression
in a regex class.

The regular expresion contains 6 different sub matches to help with parsing.

1/6 - An extra [ or ] to allow for escaping shortcodes with double [[]]
2 - The shortcode name
3 - The shortcode argument list
4 - The self closing /
5 - The content of a shortcode when it wraps some content.

return: string The shortcode search regular expression
since: 2.5

do_shortcode_tag($m)   X-Ref
Regular Expression callable for do_shortcode() for calling shortcode hook.

return: mixed False on failure.
param: array $m Regular expression match array
since: 2.5

shortcode_parse_atts($text)   X-Ref
Retrieve all attributes from the shortcodes tag.

The attributes list has the attribute name as the key and the value of the
attribute as the value in the key/value pair. This allows for easier
retrieval of the attributes, since all attributes have to be known.

return: array List of attributes and their value.
param: string $text
since: 2.5

shortcode_atts($pairs, $atts)   X-Ref
Combine user attributes with known attributes and fill in defaults when needed.

The pairs should be considered to be all of the attributes which are
supported by the caller and given as a list. The returned attributes will
only contain the attributes in the $pairs list.

If the $atts list has unsupported attributes, then they will be ignored and
removed from the final returned list.

return: array Combined and filtered attribute list.
param: array $pairs Entire list of supported attributes and their defaults.
param: array $atts User defined attributes in shortcode tag.
since: 2.5

strip_shortcodes( $content )   X-Ref
Remove all shortcode tags from the given content.

return: string Content without shortcode tags.
param: string $content Content to remove shortcode tags.
since: 2.5
