BBCode in Wordpress - W/O a plugin

[Apathetic]

• Edit your theme's functions.php and add after <?php:
  

  include 'shortcode.php';

• Create a new file in your theme's directory named shortcode.php
• Paste this:
  

  <?php
  function underline( $attr, $content = null ) {
      return '<font style="text-decoration:underline;">' . $content . '</font>';
  }
  add_shortcode('u', 'underline');
  ?>

  u is the shortcode tag
  underline is the function name
  <font style="text-decoration:underline;"> is what comes before the content of the shortcode
  </font> comes after the shortcode
• To use the shortcode, wrap them with [u] content here [/u ]
• To add more, just duplicate the function above and replace the values to suit your needs.
  
  Here's a function for the [img] tag with the post's title used as an alt tag
  

  function image( $attr, $content = null ) {
      return '<img src="' . $content . '" alt="'.get_the_title($ID).'"/>';
  }
  add_shortcode('img', 'image');
