Short Description
Provides a way to extract code from other Wikidot pages and inject it onto your Wikidot page
If you want to include contents of another page use:
[[include pagename]]
or
[[include :sitename:pagename]]
The include tag should start and end with a newline. [[include]] tags are parsed inside code blocks. To prevent an [[include]] tag from being parsed, put a space in front of it. This does make copy/paste of example code that contains [[include]] tags a problem.
The sitename can be a Wikidot subdomain (e.g. :www) or a full name, including a custom domain.
The [[include]] tag can also take parameters and substitute variables in the included source. To denote variables in the included page use:
{$var1}, {$number_books}, {$title}, {$variable_name}, {$variableName}
and in the including page use:
[[include pagename var1=value1 |
number_books = 43 |
title=Best Wiki Ever |
variable_name = just a variable |
variableName = another variable ]]
As you can see you can split variable definitions over several lines for cleaner code.
NOTE: includes and images/files: The [[include]] works just by inserting the page source at a given place. If you have any images or files attached in the included page and you refer to them as [[image filename.jpg]] in the included page, please rather use the image/file source with the name of the page too, e.g. [[image included-page/filename.jpg]]
Includes across sites are called cross-site includes or CSIs. CSIs are a powerful way to link page templates and code from other sites.
