 * I am trying to weed through all of the documentation and can only find one page
   that talks about using shortcodes with no visual examples. I’m trying to create
   an area on my site to show upcoming events which looks like the widget side bar
   but is meant for a page. I do not want to just show a list, I want to show a 
   pictures and the details of the event with an excerpt. Is there documentation
   showing how to create this in a short code so it automatically is added to the
   page whenever I add new events?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbetter-shortcode-examples%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * you can try something like
 *     ```
       [events_list scope="future" limit=10 pagination=1 format_header="<table>" format_footer="</table>"]
   
       <tr>
        <td> #_EVENTLINK </td>
        <td> #_EVENTIMAGE </td>
       </tr>
   
       [/events_list ]
       ```
