10702	Support for complex nested shorttags	pepijndevos		"The documentations is misleading on this point.
It is said that you can have nested shorttags by calling do_shorttag on the content.

However the shorttag parser isn't really a parser, it's just a non-greedy regex of some sort. It does work for simple tags without content, but when we define a [div] tag, look at the following code:

{{{
[div]
    [div]
        test1
    [/div]
    [div]
        test2
    [/div]
[/div]
}}}

Results is:

{{{
<div>
    <div>(tag without content)
    test1
</div>
<div>
    test2
    [/div](not parsed at all)
</div>
}}}

I think that if you want to stop people from writing their own parsers you should include some decent parser with Wordpress, not a regex I could do myself.

Workaround: Assign div2 and probably div3 and 4 to the same function, and use these for the nested tags. <--- very ugly!"	enhancement	new	normal	Future Release	Shortcodes	2.9	normal		has-patch needs-testing
