 * Is there documentation available, or a guide that I can use to construct a shortcode
   for insertion into a template file?
 * Is there a way to access the “shortcode maker” outside of a post/page editing
   screen?

 * Hi.
 * No, unfortunately, there is no documentation for shortcode structure. And this
   documentation will not be added since we added support for Gutenberg (new page
   editor in future WordPress 5.0).
 * p.s. I apologize for a delay in reply, didn’t get any notification about it…
