[wp-hackers] nested shortcode

[Daiv Mowbray]

Ok thanx, Otto,

I didn't realize that there are 2 types of response to a shortcode.
I knew there's various manners to add it,
I wanted to simply add the tag [addmyclass]
and activate a search replace in my plugin to add the class="myclass"  
to any image in the post.

Easier for the user to add [addmyclass] than to review in code all  
images and
have to add class="myclass".

I guess that wrapping a post in [addmyclass]post[/addmyclass] is an  
option.


Also, I had been trying to use : do_shortcode($content)
as recommended in the docs, as the shortcode search and replace function
only does a single pass of the post content.

I was getting results with unprocessed shortcode, namely the [caption].
Perhaps my problem lay elsewhere.
