 * Sure, see [Function Reference/add shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode).
   In particular note the examples using attributes and content. While the examples
   are trivial, the basic concept is illustrated. You callback function can apply
   whatever convoluted logic is required and return any content needed to replace
   the shortcode occurrence in the content.
