How to escape multiline wordpress shortcode?
[accordion_item title="Item 2"]
item content
[/accordion_item]
We could use double brakets, but “/” sign brokes everything. Can’t belive WP guys lost this case (
[[accordion_item title="Item 3"]]
item content
[[accordion_item]]
this works, but code below doesn’t escaped properly
[[accordion_item title="Item 3"]]
item content
[[/accordion_item]]
Don’t want to replace manually brakets with html codes. (and WP automatically get them back after user switch editor mode to visual)
Thanks in advance.
Function get_shortcode_regex() in shortcodes.php makes all logic with escaping shortcodes parsing (capture group 1 and 5)
For example with
[[new_something my_attr="test"]And have content!! [vc_tabs][/vc_tabs][/new_something]]
After preg_match_all you will get that
first capture group is not empty and it is “[” (so you can know that this shortcode is not for rendering)
second capture group will show shortcode name “new_something”
third capture group will show everything in attributes
" my_attr="test""four capture group will show content
And have content!! [vc_tabs][/vc_tabs]Five capture group will show that escape characters has at end.
Basically this means that all information is known when you write escape like this:
[[your_shortcode]content[/your_shortcode]]the Answer: replacing [ by

Side Note:
Wysiwyg <=> text transition causing html encoding is, and always be a problem. I would recommend just getting rig of the visual editor all together!
