It’s awesome how we can keep highlighting on HTML and produce faster using OB. Great article indeed!

Thanks David,
I was developing a shortcode in a plugin that returns a form, and I wanted to use wp_editor on one of the textareas. Since wp_editor echos it’s output (i.e. it does not return it), the editor appeared at the top of the page and the HTML generated was outside the form. So output buffering of wp-editor is exactly what is needed. I didn’t know it was this easy to do until I found your article. Perfect!

This is awesome! I was struggling to get my shortcode (that did a custom loop) to output at the right place. You explained everything very clearly and ended up adding the output buffer and voila. Thank you!
