    next_post_link( '<div class="nav-next">%link</div>', 'Next post link' );              
    $result = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $result;
}

function prev_shortcode($atts) {
    global $post;
    ob_start();
    previous_post_link( '<div class="nav-previous">%link</div>', 'Previous post link' );
