Shortcodes:
The following shortcodes have been setup for use in standard pages.
Shortcodes can be used almost anywhere, though note that the space after the opening [ and the space before the closing ] need removed for the shortcode to work.
Spaces have been added for the purposes of illustrating the required shortcode and, without these, the shortcode would return its actual display.
