# Suggestion for shortcode

 * If you add the following to your plugin then people will be able to use the shortcode[
   wowhead]itemnumber[/wowhead] in their posts. This may or may not be easier than
   adding the full link.
 *     ```
       function wowhead_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
          return '<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=' . $content . '"></a>';
       }
       add_shortcode( 'wowhead', 'wowhead_shortcode' );
       ```
   
 * You might also want to change the var to
 * `var wowhead_tooltips = { "colorlinks": true, "renamelinks": true }`
 * so that people don’t have to add the name of the item and so that it is colored
   according to quality.
