# [Plugin: Post Snippets] Nested Shortcodes

 * I use another plugin (Tubepress) that has a shortcode, but the parameters are
   quite complex, so I’m trying to use Post Snippets to create a different shortcode
   which is translated into the complex Tubepress shortcode.
 * Here’s the working TubePress shortcode
 * `[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="4D13522A2CD8309E"]`
 * In Post Snippets I define a new shortcode:
 *     ```
       Title is: PL
       Variable is: playlist
       Snippet is: [tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue='{playlist}']
       ```
   
 * In my post I put:
 * `[PL playlist=4D13522A2CD8309E]`
 * What displays on my page is:
 * `[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue='4D13522A2CD8309E']`
 * rather than the nice video gallery that Tubepress should show.
 * How can I get this to work?

 * That is a good suggestion and would probably be a useful addition to many of 
   the users.
 * I’ll take a look at adding this for the next update.
 * Cheers,

 * I’ve just released v1.8, and have added support for nested shortcodes.
