## 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`.
