Where is the shortcode pmath defined?

    Hi, I am trying to use your display math as a part of a larger plugin that I am working on, so I’d like to use [pmath] eqn [/pmath] within my plugin’s php file. (Basically my plugin needs to reformat the user’s input appropriately so that it is properly parsed by pmath.)

    I tried going into html and typing the shortcode directly into my php file:
    ?> [pmath] <? echo $eqn ?> [/pmath] <?
    and I’ve tried doing this:
    echo do_shortcode(‘[pmath]’.$eqn.'[/pmath]’);

    Both result in the literal string being displayed on the website:
    “[pmath] text_from_variable [/pmath]”

    I tried to locate where the [pmath] shortcode is actually defined, within wpmathpub.php, but I cannot find its definition (a la the add_shortcode(‘pmath’,’some_function’) command). The idea is: since I can’t use the shortcode within my php file (that I am aware of), I can incorporate the wpmathpub.php into my php file, and then just call the function that the shortcode [pmath] links to directly—but I am unable to figure out how this is done. Any help will be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hi jmaruski

    The short code is defined in this short function located in wpmathpub.php

    // Create a WordPress text filter
function to_phpmath($content)
{
	// Add an new optional font size attribute size=xx to Matteo's original preg_replace.
	$content = preg_replace('#\[pmath(\s+size=|\s?)(\d*)(\])(.*?)\[/pmath\]#sie', 'wpmathfilter(\'\\4\', \'\\2\');', $content);
	return $content;
}

    Then the text filter is registered into wordpress hook routines as follows:

    // Register our WordPress text filter, to_phpmath, into the two hook routines, the_content and comment_text.
if (!ENGAGECOMMENTS) {
// 		Register comment_text updates after all priorty comment processing filters.
//		Note: calling the comment filter first, before the content filter, fixed comment_RSS feed errors.
	remove_filter('comment_text', 'to_phpmath');
} else {
	add_filter('comment_text', 'to_phpmath');
}
// 		Register the_content updates after all priorty content processing filters.
$abs_addfilter_test = add_filter('the_content', 'to_phpmath', 5);
