 * Hi,
 * I’d like to separating the_content.
 * I’m using a slider in a page and the slider works with a short code.
 * In the content of a page I’m using [slider id=”1″]
    But I need some CSS around
   the shortcode.
 * So I want to split up the_content so I can seperate them in div’s and add some
   CSS.
 * Does anybody know how to do this?
 * Thnx in advance
 * M

 * does the slider shortcode not contain some html elements to be styled?
 * can you post a link to your site?
 * imho, it would be easier to add these html and css to the shortcode function.
 * on a basic level, you could try to work with the html setting of the editor and
   add a span tag with its own css class around the slider shortcode.

 * Yeah I could make the CSS inline with the shortcode but my client can’t 🙂
 * So I want to add the CSS to the stylesheet and make them count for all.
 * The slider doesn’t provide HTML elements to be styled.

 * what slider code are you using (plugin or function ?) , and would it be an option
   to tweak that into your own code?
 * or you could code your own shortcode, which could call the slider from within
   and wrap it with html.
 * other options could include adding the slider at the location of the ‘more-tag’
   or the `<!--nextpage-->` tag but this would have its own disadvantages.
 * without knowing the code of the `[slider]` there is not much more I can suggest.

 * Hi,
 * The slider I’m using is from codecanyon.net
 * Link: [Here](http://codecanyon.net/item/royalslider-touch-content-slider-for-wordpress/700256)
 * I was thinking to add some div and css to the code of the slider (I think that
   was what you ment)
 * Thnx for the reply
