            if ( false !== strpos( $file, get_theme_root() ) ) {
                return 'Theme: ' . strtok( str_replace( get_theme_root() . '/', '', $file ), '/' );
            }
            return false !== strpos( $file, ABSPATH . WPINC ) ? 'WordPress' : str_replace( ABSPATH, '', $file );
        };

        $tags = $shortcode_tags;
        ksort( $tags );

        echo '<div class="wrap"><h1>Shortcodes (' . count( $tags ) . ')</h1><table class="widefat striped"><thead><tr><th>Shortcode</th><th>Provided by</th></tr></thead><tbody>';
        foreach ( $tags as $tag => $callback ) {
            printf( '<tr><td><code>[%s]</code></td><td>%s</td></tr>', esc_html( $tag ), esc_html( $source( $callback ) ) );
        }
        echo '</tbody></table></div>';
