# Shortcode for a Shortcode?

 * So is it possible to create a shortcode that also outputs a shortcode?
 * I am using the audio player so in my post I enter:
    [audio:11071.mp3]
 * And the player shows, I also have a custom download link shortcode like this:
   [
   media_mp3 m=”11071″]
 * This second shortcode is needed based on the way I use blog posts. What I’d like
   to do is combine these, for example, a shortcode that could look like this:
 * [post_date d=”11071″] = and the out put in the post would result in the same 
   as if I had the first to shortcodes in there:
    [audio:11071.mp3] [media_mp3 m
   =”11071″]
 * Not sure if you can have a shortcode trigger another shortcode?! Any ideas?
