Shortcode attributes include <code>sort_column</code>, <code>sort_order</code>, <code>exclude</code>, <code>include</code>, <code>depth</code>, <code>child_of</code>, <code>meta_key</code>, <code>meta_value</code>, <code>authors</code>, <code>number</code>,  <code>offset</code>, <code>post_type</code>,  and <code>post_status</code>, everything the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_list_pages</code></a> function accepts.

<h4>ATTENTION: HTML-SITEMAP SHORTCODE HAS CHANGED</h4>
<p>Though <code>html-sitemap</code> still works, the new HTML Sitemap shortcode is <code>html_sitemap</code>. The dash/hyphen may not get processed correctly if other plugins use the same prefix such as the Syntax Highlighter plugin. <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11948" rel="nofollow ugc">read more</a>, <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17657" rel="nofollow ugc">and more</a></p>

HTML Page Sitemap

I felt the need to post a quick review for this plugin since it got a couple low ratings due to only including pages. The plugin clearly states it is for listing all of your pages only. It is not a normal XML sitemap. I'm giving it 5 stars because it is simple and does what I wanted. I simply wanted a page that listed all of my site's pages. This did it quickly and minimally. 

I do have one suggestion for the author. Rename the plugin. Instead of HTML Page Sitemap, perhaps it should be Simple Page List. Or, something that does not include "sitemap" since that word is what caused the couple low reviews, I think.

Simple

Adds an HTML (Not XML) sitemap of your pages (not posts) by entering the shortcode [html_sitemap], perfect for those who use WordPress as a CMS.

<h4>Matt Cutts on HTML Sitemaps</h4>
<p>When Matt Cutts (Head of Google’s Webspam Team) was asked, what is more important: “A XML sitemap or an HTML sitemap?” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi5DGOu1uA0" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Webmaster Tools Video</a> Matt answered a HTML sitemap. HTML sitemaps help both users and search engine crawlers. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5LIlkhxl2s" rel="nofollow ugc">“It is always useful to have a HTML sitemap…”</a>.</p>

<p>Note: The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/" rel="ugc">WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin</a> is NOT required in order to use this plugin. But this plugin does take full advantage of all settings related to the XML sitemap settings.</p>
<h4>Known oversights:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Author Roles filtering, I do not have it setup to be able to filter out author roles.</li>
<li>The posts are sorted by name and may not show if a specific Category is selected to not show in the sitemap XML settings in Yoast.</li>
</ul>


WP SEO HTML Sitemap

Really useful plugin, and the CSS bundled with it does not override your basic styling (like so many other plugins do!)
