 * Hello,
 * I am trying to add this :
 * [event_embed from=”today” category=”mycategory” count=3]
    In this case the list
   should display only the next 3 “mycategory” events that are not finish.
 * but of course it doesn’t work…is there any way to display only limited quantity
   of a category starting with the current day?
 * Thanks

 * Yes, use limit rather than count:
 * `[event_embed from="today" category="some-slug" limit="3"]`
 * Did you see a reference to a count parameter someplace (and can you point me 
   to it if so, so that I can correct it)?
 * Thanks!

 * Yes it work!
 * count ?
 * I use it like this:
 * [event_rocket_calendar title=’Les prochains dates’ category=”73″ count=”0″]
 * because I only want the mini calendar with no list…
    and it works….
 * [event_rocket_calendar title=’Les prochaines dates’ category=”73″ limit=”0″] …
   do not work.

 * Yes, I see. That’s a different shortcode though and so it doesn’t use or accept
   exactly the same parameters as this one.
 * This does seem a little inconsistent but ultimately it is for no reason other
   than that, under the hood, the calendar widget (provided by Events Calendar PRO)
   itself accepts a `count` param. Since that other shortcode is but a thin wrapper
   around the existing widget, I made no particular attempt to mask this.
 * For `[event_embed]`, however, `limit` is the correct param to use 🙂
