How do I make a shortcode?

Question

Learning as I go...

I have this functionality built, but I need it as a shortcode. How do I do that?

$args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat' );
$terms = get_terms('product_cat', $args);

$count = count($terms); $i=0;
if ($count > 0) {
    $cape_list = '<p class="my_term-archive">';
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
        $i++;
        $term_list .= '<a href="/term-base/' . $term->slug . '" title="' . sprintf(__('View all post filed under %s', 'my_localization_domain'), $term->name) . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
        if ($count != $i) $term_list .= ' &middot; '; else $term_list .= '</p>';
    }
    echo $term_list;
}

Like this:

add_shortcode('SHORTCODE_NAME', 'SHORTCODE_NAME_shortcode');  

function SHORTCODE_NAME_shortcode() {

// PUT YOUR CODE HERE


}

Then you can just do [SHORTCODE_NAME] and whatever is in the SHORTCODE_NAME_shortcode() function will do its thing.
