Multiple START and STOP INCLUDES feature needed

-- TerryVBush - 15 Jan 2005

Purpose

• I find that there are some topics that are so useful that I need to include more than one part of them in other topics.
• With extensive use of %STARTINCLUDE% and %STOPINCLUDE% including multiple depth includes sometimes I want to include different parts of the same topic in other topics. This works great with automatically generated pages!

Syntax

• My company is using an older version of TWiki that doesn't have %INCLUDE{"topic" pattern="..."}% . This syntax could be expanded to handle the following featurette. This is different from the "pattern=" syntax above because it would NOT require any of the content of the included topic to remain constant. Just the STARTINCLUDE.

• Topic1 would have:

%INCLUDE{"topic2" target="INCLBLOCK1"}%

• Topic2 would have:

%STARTINCLUDE{"INCLBLOCK1"}%
... content ...
%STOPINCLUDE%

• Topic2 could then also have:

%STARTINCLUDE{"BLOCKINCL2"}%
... content ...
%STOPINCLUDE%

• Topic3 could have:

%INCLUDE{"topic2" target="BLOCKINCL2"}%

• Note: I don't often check on this web site. To direct comments or questions about this to me, please send e-mail directly to me. Thanks.

This topic is duplicating old discussion from NamedIncludeSections

CrawfordCurrie - do you still consider this "low-hanging fruit" (comment made in NamedIncludeSections)?

I am more interested in something like

%INCLUDE{"SomeTopic" from="#ThisAnchor" to="#OtherAnchor"}%
