Nested Shortcodes

You can use shortcodes within shortcodes in the Dottoro theme. So for example the following code snippet displays a three-column layout, a button in the first column, a post list in the second one and a slideshow in the third one:

[row]
	[col3]
		[button href="#" skin="sand" size="medium"]
			[icon icon="users" /]Users
		[/button]
	[/col3]
	[col3]
		[post_list
			datas_to_show="title, preview, read_more"
			posts_per_page="6"
			col_num="1"
		/]
	[/col3]
	[col3]
		[slideshow name='Home' /] 
	[/col3]
[/row]

Sometimes the need arises to use the same shortcode within itself. For example when you want to use tabs in tabs, or toggles in toggles, or a two-column layout within a two-column layout. Unfortunately WordPress doesn't allow that, so for example the followings are invalid:

[foo]
	[foo]
	[/foo]
[/foo]
[row]
	[col2]
		content ...
		[row]
			[col2]
				content ...
			[/col2]
			[col2]
				content ...
			[/col2]
		[/row]
		content ...
	[/col2]
	[col2]
		content ...
	[/col2]
[/row]

Dottoro theme provides a solution to this issue. Just add a plus sign to the beginning of the shortcode's name at each nested level and your are done:

[foo]
	[+foo]
		[++foo]
		[/++foo]
	[/+foo]
[/foo]
[row]
	[col2]
		content ...
		[+row]
			[+col2]
				content ...
			[/+col2]
			[+col2]
				content ...
			[/+col2]
		[/+row]
		content ...
	[/col2]
	[col2]
		content ...
	[/col2]
[/row]

Please note that the plus sign can only be used in the right context:

[+foo]
[/+foo]
[foo1]
[+foo2]
[/+foo2]
[/foo1]
[foo]
[++foo]
[/++foo]
[/foo]
[row]
	[col2]
		content ...
		[+row]
			[+col3]
				content ...
			[/+col3]
			[+col3]
				content ...
			[/+col3]
			[+col3]
				content ...
			[/+col3]
		[/+row]
		content ...
	[/col2]
	[col2]
		content ...
		[+row]
			[col3]
				content ...
			[/col3]
			[col3]
				content ...
			[/col3]
			[col3]
				content ...
			[/col3]
		[/+row]
		content ...
	[/col2]
[/row]
