 * In your code, perhaps you could try to replace the [] with html
 * [ = [
    ] = ]
 * GL!

 * Yes, I think all you need to do to get the shortcode is to replace the quare 
   brackets with the html-code that replaces them.
 * So, if you shortcode is f.ex. [somecode], you can write “& #91;somecode& #93;”
   without space after the &
 * I hope this helps, I’m not entirely certain I understand your question well enough.
 * If this would not work, perhaps you could try with a plugin that makes sure WP
   does not replace any code.
