Shortcodes have access to parameters delimited in the shortcode declaration via .Get, page- and site-level variables, and also the following shortcode-specific fields:

.Name

Shortcode name.

.Ordinal

Zero-based ordinal in relation to its parent. If the parent is the page itself, this ordinal will represent the position of this shortcode in the page content.

.Parent

provides access to the parent shortcode context in nested shortcodes. This can be very useful for inheritance of common shortcode parameters from the root.

.Position

Contains filename and position for the shortcode in a page. Note that this can be relatively expensive to calculate, and is meant for error reporting. See Error Handling in Shortcodes.

.IsNamedParams

boolean that returns true when the shortcode in question uses named rather than positional parameters

.Inner

represents the content between the opening and closing shortcode tags when a closing shortcode is used
