We have some common “elements” for each of our events, such as a list of “Items to Bring”. I would like to be able to “insert” the html code that describes the various items to bring by actually inserting the [ITEMS_TO_BRING]. This way we store that set of html in one place, where we can edit if if/when it changes, and have the changes automatically appear in any Event using that shortcode. There’s no coding functionality needed, just raw html is fine.

Hi,
Yes you can with a tiny bit of PHP wrapped around that html. Some example code follows:
function tl_sample_shortcode() {
$list = 'item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4, and so on';
$html = '<div class="list">';
$html .= $list;
$html .= '</div>';
return $html;
}
add_shortcode( 'ITEMS_TO_BRING', 'tl_sample_shortcode' );
You can add the above to a functions plugin. Then go in to edit the plugin whenever you need to update the list.
Alternatively you could look at a plugin like this one:
