   This shortcode:
   <ul>[events_list category="5"]<li>#_EVENTDATES: #_EVENTLINK</li>[/events_list]</ul>
   generates this html:
   

   <ul>
   	<li>31/01/2012: <a href="#">An Event</a></li>
   	<p>
   	<li>12/02/2012: <a href="#">Another Event</a></li>
   	<p>
   </ul>

   Note the extraneous <p> tags being added. Please advise...

   And when I (my clients) switch to the visual editor, the above shortcode generates this html:
   

   <ul>
   <ul></p>
   <li>31/01/2012: <a href="#">An Event</a></li>
   </ul>
   </ul>
   <p></p>
   <li>12/02/2012: <a href="#">Another Event</a></li>
   </ul>
   </ul>
   <p></p>

   it could be a wordpress issue as stated in this post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-wordpress-from-adding-p-tags-and-removing-line-break?replies=23

   you can try this one http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/disable-wpautop/

   Yeah, I can get rid of the p tags but I still end up with this when switching to the visual editor:
   

   <ul>
   <ul>
   <li>31/01/2012: <a href="#">An Event</a></li>
   </ul>
   </ul>
   <li>12/02/2012: <a href="#">Another Event</a></li>
   </ul>
   </ul>

   The only way around that is to not use the visual editor, but I can't very well tell my clients that. Will try rolling my own shortcode....

   So, I am trying to create an events list shortcode that the visual editor can't mess with (see above). This means that I need all the html to build within the shortcode.

   Can you help me with the syntax?

   This is as far as I got (copying your shortcode code):
   

   function em_my_get_events_list_shortcode($atts, $format='') {
   	$atts = (array) $atts;
   	$atts['format'] = ($format != '' || empty($atts['format'])) ? $format : $atts['format'];
   	$atts['format'] = html_entity_decode($atts['format']); //shorcode doesn't accept html
   	$atts['page'] = ( !empty($atts['page']) && is_numeric($atts['page']) )? $atts['page'] : 1;
   	$atts['page'] = ( !empty($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']) )? $_GET['page'] : $atts['page'];
   	return '<ul class="myeventlist">' . EM_Events::output( $atts ) . '</ul>';
   }
   add_shortcode ( 'my_events_list', 'em_my_get_events_list_shortcode' );

   The shortcode should look like this:
   [my_events_list category="5"]
   instead of this:
   <ul class="myeventlist">[my_events_list category="5"]<li>#_EVENTDATES: #_EVENTLINK</li>[/events_list]</ul>

   and the output should look like this:
   

   <ul class="myeventlist">
   	<li>31/01/2012: <a href="#">An Event</a></li>
   	<li>12/02/2012: <a href="#">Another Event</a></li>
   </ul>
