Assuming, you’re using a latex
shortcode, the following should do what you’ve asked for:
function leave_latex_alone($content) {
$new_content="";
$pattern_full="{(\[latex\].*?\[/latex\])}is";
$pattern_contents="{\[latex\](.*?)\[/latex\]}is";
$pieces = preg_split($pattern_full, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
foreach ($pieces as $piece)
if (preg_match($pattern_contents, $piece, $matches)) $new_content .= $matches[1];
else $new_content .= wptexturize(wpautop($piece));
return $new_content;
}
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
add_filter('the_content', 'leave_latex_alone', 99);
This is an adapted version of some code found here. However, I did not test the code.
