What is a shortcode?

A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with minimal effort. You can place shortcodes in website content to generate objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code. Shortcode = shortcut.

To use a shortcode inside the WordPress blocks editor (Gutenberg), you must use the shortcode block.
