 * I’ve been reading the Shortcode API but I’m still a little confused on how to
   setup my Shortcode for a button.
 * [button link=”” target=””]Your Text[/button] This is what I would like my Shortcode
   to look like.
 * I’m also trying to make a Shortcode for a check list that has an checkmark image
   for each bullet.
 * [check_list]
    - List 1
 * [/check_list]
 * Any help would be appreciated.
