 * Hello
 * I am using shortcode on a page to display a group of events based on category.
   these display how i have defined on the settings>formatting tab.
 * Howeber, i’d like to use different formatting for display another category using
   shortcode on a differnt page shortcode. (err… make sense?)
 * Is this possible?
    Thanks

 * Okay, should’ve looked harder at the docs.
 * This is easily done by adding html & placeholders between shortcode tags. eg:
 *     ```
       [events_list category="6" ]
       <table class="events-table" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
       <thead>
       <tr>
       <th class="event-time" width="150">Date/Time</th>
       <th class="event-description" width="*">Event</th>
       </tr>
       </thead>
       <tbody>
       <tr>
       <td><strong>#l #j #M #Y #@_{ \u\n\t\i\l j M Y}</strong><br/ >#_EVENTTIMES</td>
       <td>
       <h3>#_EVENTLINK</h3>
       #_EVENTEXCERPT
       <h4 style="margin: 10px 0 5px;">Venue:</h4>
       {has_location}<em>#_LOCATIONLINK, #_LOCATIONFULLLINE</em>{/has_location}</td>
       </tr>
       </tbody>
       </table>
       [/events_list]
       ```
