WordPress isn’t aware of your shortcode until it’s rendered on the front end. So when WP sees it in the content and replaces it, that’s when it’s aware that your shortcode exists. It also promptly forgets about it afterward, of course. So there’s no built in function to do what you’re asking. The best you … Read more
Either way this seems like a very clunky solution for arbitrary markup in shortcode.

The filter for the title is single_post_title, you can do the same thing you do with the_title: add_filter( ‘single_post_title’, ‘do_shortcode’ );
There is a multitude issues wrong with the above. For one, post_parent in the query arguments needs to be an integer. You’re assigning it a string. A number of your calls to wordpress functions, such as the_excerpt() and wp_reset_query() are missing ending semicolons. $atts is an associative array of attributes for the shortcode.
