suppose if I have clicked on video button the video tag appears under the video buttons and when I again click on video button the video the video tag again disappears.

I'm not completely sure if I understand what you want to accomplish with your buttons, but you can totally do that with shortcodes.

The use of shortcodes is one of the ways to expose functionality written in plugins/themes to users of a WordPress site. So you can write code to do what you want then create a shortcode for it:

function something_rad_function( $atts ){
    return "Some RAD functionality";
}
add_shortcode( 'something_rad', 'something_rad_function' );

You can use the shortcode in a post or page with: [something_rad]. Also do_shortcode() may come in handy if you need external functionality available through shortcodes.
