   If you have a simple shortcode function such as this:

   function short ( $atts, $content ) {
   return $content;
   }

   Is there a simple way to have it behave as the rest of my post content does when wpautop is on? For instance, typing this in the html editor:

   Here is a paragraph. Tags are not necessary, as they are applied automatically.
   
   [short]Code[/short]
   
   [short]Code[/short] and some other content.
   
   A [short]code[/short] in the middle of a sentence.

   Would produce:

   <p>Here is a paragraph. Tags are not necessary, as they are applied automatically.</p>
   <p>Code</p>
   <p>Code and some other content.</p>
   <p>A code in the middle of a sentence.</p>

   Strange, I just realized that the desired output is indeed produced except for when the shortcode is the very first word of a post. The output for:

   [short]Code[/short] and some other content.

   Looks like this:

   Code and some other content.</p>

   With no leading paragraph tag. This is a much lesser problem, but still a problem.

   So does anyone know how to force the leading paragraph tag in case I forget and lead my post with a shortcode? Thanks!

   Nevermind. The reason that it seemed to work is because it is working inconsistently. I cannot figure out how it determines whether or not to apply <p> tags.
