keywords for a "command"

  • Please help! I am a relative newby to WordPress but have been working on a webpage as a volunteer for a non-profit organization. I have over 30 years in IT but in “big iron” and designing/maintaining large databases rather than web pages. My experience with web design/development is very html code specific.

    The problem I am having in WordPress is the lack of a User Manual which would take a command or whatever word WP uses and lists the keywords available for use with this command. For example, the [tagline_box] commands has keywords “title”, “description”, “link” — what other keywords are there? This command is only example — I would like to be able to look up almost everything I code for the keywords. Is there a place to look or do I just experiment?!

    I haven’t included the organization’s website because this question is very general and not specific to their site.

    Thank you for any help you can give me

    Be aware that some plugins and themes may also provide additional shortcodes.

    bemdesign,
    Thank you for your response about Shortcodes. This looks very good — but, again, how do I find these? The page you reference probably tells me but I’m such a newby, I can’t see what it is; it looks like a description on how to create a shortcode but I am far away from doing that! Is there a section of the Codex that lists the shortcodes created so far?
