 * I’m not seeing any documentation on what the “location” variable requires or 
   provides? Can you expand on that a bit in the docs?
 * > 3) What variables do I have access to? Continent, country, state, city, zip,
   > latitude, longitude.
 * > 8) Location: `[geoip-location]`
 * Thank you!

 * Hi agentevolution!
 * The location shortcode returns a formatted location: City, State Country. Here
   is what each of these location variable shortcodes will return when I visit a
   demo page from our Austin, Texas office:
 * 1) Continent: NA
 * 2) Country: US
 * 3) Region (State): TX
 * 4) City: Austin
 * 5) Postal Code: 78745
 * 6) Latitude: 30.2058
 * 7) Longitude: -97.8002
 * 8) Location: Austin, TX US
 * I’ve created a task to update our docs to make this more clear for future users.
   Thanks for your question, I hope this helps!
