    The Include macro displays the contents of one Wiki page in another. If the page is from another space, you will need to include the space name.

    The Code

    Code Block
    
    {include:HELP:Wiki Markup Editor}
    

    Toggle Cloak

    Toggle Cloak
    idcloak8
    Parameters

    idcloak8
    The 'space' parameter is case sensitive.
    Card
    labelexcerpt

    The Excerpt Macro is used to mark a part of a page's content for re-use. By itself, the excerpt macro does not change the display of a page. However, defining an excerpt enables other macros such as excerpt-include and blog-posts macros to display the specified content elsewhere.

    Note
    titleA page can only have *ONE* excerpt.

    The Code

    Code Block
    
    {excerpt}
    Content to be included on another page.
    {excerpt}
    

    Toggle Cloak
    idcloak10

    This is the plugin libraries navigation bar, which was created using the excerpt and excerpt-include macros. The panel displays the name of the page where the 'excerpted' content is being pulled from. It can be removed by adjusting the 'nopanel' parameter (see below):

    Advanced Macros Plugin

    If any changes are made to the content within the body of the excerpt macro, it will automatically be changed on any pages it is being 'excerpted'. This makes the excerpt and excerpt-include macros ideal for creating navigation bars.
