For additional details of what parameters are available, please have a look at the following functions relevant to the shortcode:

• [ child_pages ] - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_pages/
• [ dropdown_child_pages ] - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_dropdown_pages/
• [ dropdown_child_pages ] (advanced) - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_pages/

The [ tool_tip ] shortcode has one parameter character which is set to an exclamation mark (!) as the default. An example usage is: [ tool_tip character=?]This is the tool tip text![ /tool_tip ] (with no spaces inside the square brackets)
