 * Hi,
 * This can be feel as a curious or stupid question.
 * I tried to find shortcodes documentation and could not find anything else that
   the list of ultimate, but nothing about parameters nothing in codex else than
   creation rules for development.
 * I have written several shortcodes and added parameters into plugins in developments,
   so everything seams clear till today.
    I have to** use the shortcode “menu” **
   which appear as “su_menu” with ultimate.
 * It doesn’t function as I would. I wish to display some submenu of current menu
   into a page.
    When I give the title of the menu (name of menu doesn’t exist in
   french version it is title) and I hope to get the display of the options of the
   corresponding menu. I get always the full menu (with the name given displayed).
 * Then I search for a definition of the shortcode use rules and parameters (else
   than “title” or “name”), after half an hour I could not find anything else that
   the way to create shortcodes defined in Codex (which I know quite well).
 * Must we (as user) seek the code to rebuild documentation ?
    I could not find 
   a recent plugin which displays shortcodes data (registered data about into db).
 * Please do somebody can help me ?
 * Best regards
 * Trebly

 * Hi,
 * Two days mean nobody interested in answering to this stupid question.
 * I found a part of the problem :
    1. There is no documentation
    2. There is ‘in French à “pense-bête” ‘, à “memo” of a non existing documentation
    3. In this memo we can find that nu_menu has only two parameters the name od menu
       and the class
    4. So there nothing else than seeking the code to get information : I could extract
       this original documentation :
    5. The shortcode [nu_menu …] displays a whole menu defined into the theme.
        By 
       default if the name is not valid the behavior is those of nav_menu because parameters
       are sent to wp_nav_menu without any test. Particularly if the menu name is those
       of a submenu you will get the whole menu. There is no parameter to display a
       submenu. Without CSS it is not usable. As I am searching for the display of 
       various submenu so : – I am testing a new shortcode that I have developed and
       that I try to integrate into ultimate for editor integration (I am for now seeking
       where the form is generated from the atts (parameters requested for the shortcode).–
       If I cannot integrate I will have to develop a new shortcode plugin.
    6. Others plugin seems no more clear about submenu selection.
    7. Best regards
