 * Hi!
    I’m trying to promote an event on my blog homepage. I tried to insert a 
   shortcode in a post, but I can’t find a shortcode for the event description. 
   I can only create an [events_list] with event=”myid”, but it’s too poor…

 * in your settings you can modify the default list with placeholders (see the docs),
   otherwise, insert the format you want within the shortcode, e.g.
 * [events_list]#_NOTES[/events_list]
