[Shortcodes][shortcodes] have access to parameters delimited in the shortcode declaration via [`.Get`][getfunction], page- and site-level variables, and also the following shortcode-specific fields:
`.Parent`
: provides access to the parent shortcode context in nested shortcodes. This can be very useful for inheritance of common shortcode parameters from the root.
`.IsNamedParams`
: boolean that returns `true` when the shortcode in question uses [named rather than positional parameters][shortcodes]
`.Inner`
: represents the content between the opening and closing shortcode tags when a [closing shortcode][markdownshortcode] is used
