# HelpOnMacros/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 (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, available since MoinMoin 1.3.4).

All parameters except pagename are optional, but you have to follow the given order! If you want to omit "`heading`", you have to leave the second parameter empty.

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

Examples:

- `[[Include(FooBar)]]` -- include the text of page `FooBar` in the current paragraph

- `[[Include(FooBar, )]]` -- add a H1 of 'Foo Bar' followed by the text

- `[[Include(FooBar, , 2)]]` -- add a H2 of 'Foo Bar'

- `[[Include(FooBar, 'All about Foo Bar', 2)]]` -- add a H2 of 'All about Foo Bar'

- `[[Include(FooBar, , from="^----$")]]` -- only include content after first horizontal rule

- `[[Include(FooBar, , to="^----$")]]` -- only include content until first horizontal rule

- `[[Include(^FooBar/.*, , sort=descending)]]` -- sort the page list in decending order

- `[[Include(^FooBar/.*, , items=3)]]` -- include maximal three pages

- `[[Include(^BlogBase/.*,, to="^----$", sort=descending, items=7)]]` -- show at most a week of a blog

- `[[Include(^BlogBase/.*,, to="^----$", sort=descending, items=7, skipitems=7, titlesonly)]]` -- show the previous week with titles only

- You can use these with MonthCalendar for blogging:

  - `[[Include(^FirstnameLastname/20..-..-..,,to="^----",sort=descending,items=3)]]` -- show 3 items out of a month calendar

  - `[[Include(^FirstnameLastname/20..-..-..,,to="^----",sort=descending,items=4,skipitems=3,titlesonly)]]` -- show next 4 items only with titles
