I’m wondering this too. I want to use a shortcode like [product] or something in the code, but crayon doesn’t recognize the shortcode. Did you ever find a solution to this?
I’m also looking for a solution. I’ve tried using the following (and some combinations as well):
[plain][myshortcode][/plain] inside the main pre
[html][myshortcode][/html] inside the main pre
<code> and a nested <pre>
myshortcode & other escape methods
highlight="false" attribute inside a nested pre & a code
crayon="false" attribute inside a nested pre & a code
ticking/unticking show_mixed
As you can see, I’ve tried a mixed bag in desperation. I really just want to highlight a single line of php code with a very simple shortcode (just shows the current year) inside it like:
<?php somefunction('[myshortcode]'); ?>
so the visitor sees
<?php somefunction('2014'); ?>
