 * Hello,
 * I’m trying add the comments area of my posts to a tab by using a tab plugin.
 * I’m using the following code which was provided by the plugin developer in my
   template file to accomplish this, but I can seem to figure out how to add a function
   inside this shortcode code.
 *     ```
       <?php
       do_shortcode("[tab name='Tab 1']{$content}[/tab]");
       do_shortcode("[tab name='Tab 2']{$serviceInfo}[/tab]");
       do_shortcode("[tab name='Tab 3']Condolences Here[/tab]");
       echo do_shortcode('[end_tabset]');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The 3rd line is giving me the trouble. Instead of “Condolences Here” I’d like
   to add the comments_template() function to the 3rd line so my comments appear
   on the 3rd tab. However it doesn’t work. I want it to look something like this:
 * `do_shortcode("[tab name='Tab 3']comments_template()[/tab]");`
 * I can’t figure out how to allow this php function inside the do_shortcode function.
 * Thanks for the help!
