 * Hi,
 * I want to show a list of items in a page using a custom query to a new created
   table. I want to do it scalable, so my idea is create a shortcode to show the
   data. The problem is that the shortcode should receive as parameter one specific
   item, and I don’t know how it can be done.
 * This is my idea (in pseudocode):
 * items = get all items matching condition
 * for each item in item
    { show item data (i.e. Item Code – Item name) }
 * How can I create shortcodes for “show item” receiving parameters from item.prop1,
   item.prop2, etc?
