💡 Shortcodes are a powerful feature in Markdown that allow you to embed dynamic content or complex elements with simple tags. They act as shortcuts for repetitive tasks or custom functionality.
Common Use Cases
- Embed Media: Use
[video]or[audio]to include multimedia files. - Create Links: Use
[link]for internal or external links. - Insert Code Blocks: Use
[code]for syntax highlighting. - Custom Widgets: Implement
[widget]for interactive components like calendars or forms.
Example Shortcodes
[video src="example.mp4" thumbnail="thumbnail.jpg"]
[link text="Learn More" url="/community/plugin_dev/guides/"]
[code language="python"]print("Hello, World!")[/code]
