upcoming template shortcode before & after

  • I am trying to format upcoming events with the template attributes and shortcodes. The default template string for list view does not work. The strong html tags show up as text rather than tags. When I change them to be included as before and after attributes of the {date} shortcode they work. However, when I add another shortcode with before and after attributes things get weird. Below are two examples of upcoming template strings and their respective results, neither of which are completely correct. I have tried various combinations of squotes, double quotes and backslash double quotes:

    [my_calendar_upcoming template="{date before=\"<strong>\" after=\"</strong>\"}, {time}: {link_title}{shortdesc}" type="event" order="asc"]

[my_calendar_upcoming template='{date before="<strong>" after="</strong>"}, {time}: {link_title}  {shortdesc}' type="event" order="asc"]

    The first one correctly makes the date bold but does not show the shortdesc.

    The second one inserts the strong tags as text but shows the shortdesc.

    If you’re adding the parameters if the visual editor, you might be having a problem where the visual editor is rewriting the less-than and greater-than signs as entities. Are you using the visual editor?

    Yes, I am using the visual editor. When I enter the generated shortcode in text mode, nothing gets rendered by the plugin. At least when I put the shortcode in visual edit mode I get some results.

    See this page to see what I am getting:

    Thanks for your help.
