What is shotcode?

A shortcode is a small piece of code that is inserted into a website to perform specific functions, such as displaying content or adding functionality. Shortcodes are commonly used in content management systems like WordPress to make it easier to add custom features to a website without having to write complex HTML or CSS code. Shortcodes typically consist of a few lines of code enclosed in square brackets, for example, [gallery id="123"]. When the page or post containing the shortcode is viewed, the shortcode is replaced with the content it represents or the function it performs. Shortcodes can be used to display text, images, videos, forms, or any other type of content, making them a very versatile tool for web developers.
