[html_sitemap depth=2 child_of=CURRENT] Example shortcode will add a sitemap to a page displaying children and grandchildren of the parent page (would include the curent page as well). [html_sitemap depth=2 child_of=PARENT] Example shortcode will add a sitemap displaying the page modified date with the pages sorted by the menu order number. [html_sitemap show_date=modified sort_column=menu_order] Example shortcode excluding multiple pages with ids 708, 1024 and 42. [html_sitemap exclude="708,1024,42"] Example shortcode will add a class attribute to the tag. [html_sitemap class="custom-class"] Example shortcode will add an id attribute to the tag. [html_sitemap id="custom-element-id"] Example shortcode will display an ordered list using lowercase letters with a depth of 1.
