 * The short-code parser incorrectly parsed the attribute value even when the magic
   character “]” within the quote mark.
 * Sample code: `info-box-parser.php`
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
        * Plugin Name: Short-Code Bug Test
        * Description: Short-Code Bug Test

       function infobox_parse ($atts, $content = null) {
       	echo "--- [  ATTS   ] ---\n";
       	var_dump ($atts);
       	echo "--- [ CONTENT ] ---\n";
       	var_dump ($content);
       	echo "--- --- --- --- ---";
           return $content;
       }
   
       add_shortcode ('infobox', 'infobox_parse');
       ```
   
 * Post content:
    `[infobox title="[tag1] [tag2] title"][/infobox]`
 * Expected result:
 *     ```
       --- [  ATTS   ] ---
       array(1) {
         ["title"]=>
         string(19) "[tag1] [tag2] title"
       }
       --- [ CONTENT ] ---
       string(0) ""
       --- --- --- --- ---
       ```
   
 * Actual output:
 *     ```
       --- [  ATTS   ] ---
       array(1) {
         [0]=>
         string(12) "title="[tag1"
       }
       --- [ CONTENT ] ---
       string(21) " [tag2] title”]"
       --- --- --- --- ---
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance.
