Allows to use shortcodes that include shortcodes, and so on.


== Description ==

The Recursive Shortcode plugin provides the `[recursive-shortcode]` shortcode for Wordpress to use shortcodes in shortcodes (nested shortcodes).


== Documentation ==

Just write: `[recursive-shortcode]CONTENT[/recursive-shortcode]`

The `CONTENT` is read by the parser, found shortcodes are properly executed.

[The documentation, more examples and clues can be found on the project page.](https://github.com/kgitthoene/wordpress-plugin-recursive-shortcode/blob/master/README.md#usage)

=== Example ===

(From the banner. See above.)

`[recursive-shortcode][icon name="[urlparam param="icon"]"][/recursive-shortcode]`

First the inner shortcode (urlparam) is evaluated. The result inserted as parameter for the icon-shortcode. `urlparam` is from plugin [URL Params](https://wordpress.org/plugins/url-params/). `icon` is from plugin [Better Font Awesome](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/).

If you open: https://yourlocation.lan/page-with-recursive-shortcode?icon=file-pdf

You'll get the icon `file-pdf`.
