 * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) The only
   real benefit here is a better developer experience, I think that’s clear, so 
   I do not feel the need to continue the discussion off the forums.
 * I understand that this is just a small improvement, which does not have your 
   top priority. I came up with the suggestion because I felt it could be accomplished
   with minor effort on your part.
 * But it was just a suggestion after all 🙂

 * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) It’s not
   _bad_, it does the job. But in my opinion, such a long shortcode is not very 
   elegant, nor is it very readable. It’s not about the functionality, just about
   the developer experience.
 * I’d rather have the arguments as an array, one per line, and pass them to a function
   or action. I think that would be less error-prone, too.
 * If it’s not clear to you, I’d be happy to get in touch.

 * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) thanks for
   the quick response.
 * > Are you able to achieve the same outcome using do_shortcode() to a variable?
 * I’m not entirely sure what you mean by this, but at least it made me realize 
   that it is not as simple as I thought. After all, a shortcode _returns_ content,
   and I now assume the `do_action()` call will _echo_ it. So maybe you will need
   a function after all, or create a dedicated method which echoes the shortcode
   content and add that as an action.
 * The reason I suggested an action instead of a function is the fact that as a 
   theme developer, I will always have to check whether a plugin-provided function
   exists. If I use an action, I will not have to do that, it will simply do nothing
   if no listeners are attached.

 * Same problem here. We don’t use WPML either.
