 * Hi there, I’d like to create a shortcode for our document URLs. Ideally in this
   format (using ‘docurl’ as an example only):
 * [docurl]ID1234[/docurl]
 * And for it to display:
 * [http://docurl.co.nz/document/etc/id/ID1234](http://docurl.co.nz/document/etc/id/ID1234)
 * Would LOVE your thoughts.
 * Thanks!!!
