* map – whether or not to show a map. (true or false, default true)
* location – the location slug to show times for (default ‘llandudno’, see the list of locations further down)
You can add content to the shortcode to display a description:
[tide_times days=1 map=true title="Tide times for Conwy" location="conwy"]These are today's tides for Conwy[/tide_times]
or without content:
[tide_times days=1 map=true title="Tide times for Conwy" location="conwy"]
