+I am thinking that it would be useful to parse parts of one wiki page into another. Here something like `\[[page=anchor]]` would be really nice to simply parse the content of that section, as opposed to `\[[page#anchor]]` which only creates a link to that section. -- [[Timoses]]
+
+> When you say "parse parts" do you mean taking a section of a wiki page and including its text
+> in a different wiki page? So for instance you might want `/installation` to include the
+> `Downloading binaries` section of `/download`, but not the rest of that page?
+>
+> That's really a separate feature request (inlining isn't linking), and is also rather difficult

+> [[directives|ikiwiki/directive]] are processed, the page content is still Markdown or
+> whatever other format is relevant, not HTML. That makes sections difficult to identify.
