do_shortcode()

Search content for shortcodes and filter shortcodes through their hooks.

If there are no shortcode tags defined, then the content will be returned without any filtering. This might cause issues when plugins are disabled but the shortcode will still show up in the post or content.

	return preg_replace_callback( "/$pattern/s", 'do_shortcode_tag', $content );
