‘Shortcodes’ are a feature of WordPress used for executing custom functions by inserting a small snippit of code into a post. For example, my download monitor plugin now uses shortcodes; by entering [download id="1"] into a post, the plugin will output a download link.

Excellent post on implementing your own shortcodes. I actually learned some new tricks.
Definitely some very cool stuff on that post! I wrote a “shortcode” tutorial on Smashing Magazine some time ago, if you’re interrested to read it I can post it on here.
This is really something new which i never knew before. Thanks Jean
