Include

This macro includes the formatted content of the given local wiki page(s), following recursive includes if encountered. If the recursion generates any cycles, this is detected and prevented!

Usage

• <<Include(pagename, heading, level, from="regex", to="regex", sort=ascending|descending, items=n, skipitems=n, titlesonly, editlink)>>

pagename

Name of the page to include, if it starts with a caret "^", a regex of pages to include.

heading
Text for the generated heading which will link to the included page (optional).
level
Level (1..5) of the generated heading (optional).
from
Partial include start marker (optional).
to
Partial include end marker (optional).
sort
Sorting order when pagename is a regex, i.e. starts with a caret (optional).
items
Maximum number of pages to include.
skipitems
Number of initial pages to skip over (optional).
titlesonly
Only include a link to the page, not page content (optional).
editlink
add a footer with links to the included page, both normal and edit (optional).

All parameters except pagename are optional, but you have to follow the given order! Leave the second and third parameters empty if the heading is not wanted and keyword parameters are specified.

from and to recognise the pattern in comments as well. So watch out for comments that stop the include unexpectedly.

Examples

• Include the text of page FooBar in the current paragraph:

  <<Include(FooBar)>>

• Add a linked H1 of 'Foo Bar' followed by the text:

  <<Include(FooBar,"Foo Bar" )>>

• Add a H2 of 'All about Foo Bar':

  <<Include(FooBar, 'All about Foo Bar', 2)>>

• Only include content after first horizontal rule:

  <<Include(FooBar, , from="^----$")>>

• Only include content until first horizontal rule:

  <<Include(FooBar, , to="^----$")>>

• Sort the page list in descending order:

  <<Include(^FooBar/.*, , sort=descending)>>

• Include a maximum of three pages:

  <<Include(^FooBar/.*, , items=3)>>

• Show at most a week of a blog:

  <<Include(^BlogBase/.*,, to="^----$", sort=descending, items=7)>>

• Show the previous week with titles only:

  <<Include(^BlogBase/.*,, to="^----$", sort=descending, items=7, skipitems=7, titlesonly)>>

• You can use these with ../MonthCalendar for blogging:

  • Show 3 items out of a month calendar:

    <<Include(^FirstnameLastname/20..-..-..,,to="^----",sort=descending,items=3)>>

  • Show next 4 items only with titles:

    <<Include(^FirstnameLastname/20..-..-..,,to="^----",sort=descending,items=4,skipitems=3,titlesonly)>>
