* My issue is with readability. The shortcodes appear to add spacing to the output
HTML when added to your page code like this:
* ```
[accordion tag="p" clicktoclose="true" autoclose="true"]
[accordion-item class="cfstyle" title="3-Way Call Transfer"]3-Way Call Transfer allows the subscriber to add a third party to an existing call without operator assistance. With 3-Way Call Transfer, a subscriber can set up a 3-way call and then disconnect, allowing the remaining parties to continue the conversation.[/accordion-item]
[accordion-item class="cfstyle" title="3-Way Calling"]Allows you to add a third party to your current telephone conversation. This feature can reduce the need for callbacks when organizing plans and schedules. 3-Way Calling can bring family and friends together.[/accordion-item]
[accordion-item class="cfstyle" title="Anonymous Call Rejection"]By dialing a simple code, you can program your phone to refuse calls from callers which have blocked their number. Those callers get a special message which says you do not accept anonymous calls and suggests they remove the blocking and call again. See instructions below. All other callers ring through as usual.[/accordion-item]
[/accordion]
```
* As a result, I seem forced to write my code as follows to avoid it:
* `[accordion tag="p" clicktoclose="true" autoclose="true"][accordion-item class
="cfstyle" title="3-Way Call Transfer"]3-Way Call Transfer allows the subscriber
to add a third party to an existing call without operator assistance. With 3-
Way Call Transfer, a subscriber can set up a 3-way call and then disconnect,
allowing the remaining parties to continue the conversation.[/accordion-item][
accordion-item class="cfstyle" title="3-Way Calling"]Allows you to add a third
party to your current telephone conversation. This feature can reduce the need

* This is very hard to read and make sense of. Any way to avoid the addition of
the spacing when separated out?

* Sorry, the site is still currently internal, so I am unable to link it. I’m also
not sure why my second block did not appear as code, I must have deleted a tick
by mistake.

* I suck, might help if I noticed that this page had wpautop enabled, when I thought
it was turned off everywhere.

* I like to use this function in my `functions.php` file to solve the `wpautop`
shortcode output issues:
* ```
/**
* Fixes empty and
tags showing before and after shortcodes in the
* output content.
*/
function pb_the_content_shortcode_fix($content) {
$array = array(
'
[' => '[',
']
' => ']',
']
' => ']',
']
' => ']'
);
return strtr($content, $array);
}
add_filter('the_content', 'pb_the_content_shortcode_fix');
```
