# \[chordpress]

The `[chordpress]` shortcode assumes that the text wrapped in its tags is valid ChorPro format. It will render the text and display it “pretty” on your page.

## Format

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
[chordpress parameter="value" ...]your ChordPro text here[/chordpress]
```

{% endcode %}
