   Hello,

   I'm looking for a tutorial explaining the process of creating a custom taf on wordpress.

   I'd like to render some custom html from a simple tag
   example :

   <music id='14' />

   which will render :

   <embed object flashMusicPlayer.swf source="14.mp3" .....>
   </embed>

   The code rendering the html is already done in my function
   getMusicCode (int $idMusic), in my php code

   I just need to know where to implement the filtering of the wordpress content to call my custom function

   thanks a lot if you have info

   Take a look at my My Tags plugin. It doesn't allow for unique attributes (i.e. id='14'), but with some mods one could get it to handle them:

   You can implement it almost anywhere you like, actually. Preferably in a plugin or in functions.php or something. Before your Loop executes, anyway.

   function your_function($content)
{
// $content contains the content of the actual post
// you can modify content all you like and return it,
// and that's how it's modified
return $content;
}
// this adds your filter into the_content chain, so
// that every post's content will get passed into
// your function
add_filter('the_content','your_function');

   A simple example:
   function add_giggity($content) {
return $content." Giggity!";
}
add_filter('the_content','add_giggity');

   For your particular case, you'll probably want to have your function do a regexp match on the incoming content and replace that text with your embed text as appropriate. I'd look into the preg_match and preg_replace PHP functions if I were you. Very handy.
