 * I recently installed the Shopp plugin to add a shopping cart to my WP site, and
   noticed something.
 * In my customization of the plugin, I encountered pages created by the Shopp plugin
   that consist of nothing except, say, “[account]”.
 * Looking in the shopp folder, there is a file called “account.php,” which is being
   called and rendered by that page. In the course of my modifications, it became
   necessary to do something similar on my own. Unfortunately, I couldn’t duplicate
   the functionality – my page printed “[example]” instead of pulling in example.
   php.
 * I wasn’t sure how to search for this, but I’m quite stumped, and would love some
   help.
 * Thank you!

 * Sounds like you mean shortcodes so see [Shortcode_API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API).
