Need a way to parse WP caption shortcodes

[camfindlay]

importing from WP many images are often wrapped in a

[caption id="attachment_8393" align="alignnone" width="111" caption="Caption Text Goes Here!"]
image here
[/caption]

perhaps some way to either parse and store these as html on import OR perhaps a SS shorttag that acts in the same manner as WP captions?

If your happy to ignore the parameters on the caption (which we where) you can just use a standard shortcode parser registering a shortcode called caption (https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3.2/developer_guides/extending/shortcodes/)

Here is the function I used.

public static function CaptionShortcode($arguments, $content = null, $parser = null, $tagName) { return "<div class='image-caption'>" . $content . "</div> "; }

with registration in _config.php of
ShortcodeParser::get('default')->register('caption', array('Page', 'CaptionShortcode'));
