 * I can’t get the shortcode to work the way I want.
 * I’m trying to get a list with an image on the left, and three lines of text, 
   without html stripped, to the right of the image. This is the code I’m using:
 * [catlist template=div name=”adult” content=yes
    excerpt=yes post_title=no no_post_titles
   =yes thumbnail=yes ]
 * I wondered if using content=yes and excerpt=yes was my problem, but if I delete
   content=yes I get nothing.
 * Where did I go wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshort-code-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Never mix `content` and `excerpt`, try only with `content=yes`
