-With this plugin you can store and recall pieces of text. It defines three
-preprocessing commands:
-
- * `\[[!cut id=name text="text"]]` memorizes the text allowing to recall it
- using the given ID. The text being cut is not included in the output.
- * `\[[!copy id=name text="text"]]` memorizes the text allowing to recall it
- using the given ID. The text being cut *is* included in the output.
- * `\[[!paste id=name]]` is replaced by the previously memorized text.
-
-The text being cut, copied and pasted can freely include wiki markup, including
-more calls to cut, copy and paste.
-
-You do not need to memorize the text before using it: a cut directive can
-follow the paste directive that uses its text. In fact, this is quite useful
-to postpone big blocks of text like long annotations and have a more natural
-flow. For example:
-
- This plugin provides three directives:
-
- * \[[!toggle id="cut" text="cut"]] that cuts text
- * \[[!toggle id="copy" text="copy"]] that copies text
- * \[[!toggle id="paste" text="paste"]] that pastes text
-
- \[[!toggleable id="cut" text="\[[!paste id=cutlongdesc]]"]]
- \[[!toggleable id="copy" text="\[[!paste id=copylongdesc]]"]]
- \[[!toggleable id="paste" text="\[[!paste id=pastelongdesc]]"]]
-
- \[...some time later...]
-
- \[[!cut id=cutlongdesc text="""
- blah blah blah
- """]]
- \[[!cut id=copylongdesc text="""
- blah blah blah
- """]]
- \[[!cut id=pastelongdesc text="""
- blah blah blah
- """]]
-
-This can potentially be used to create loops, but ikiwiki is clever and breaks
-them.
-
-Since you can paste without using double quotes, copy and paste can be used to
-nest directive that require multiline parameters inside each other:
-
- \[[!toggleable id=foo text="""
- \[[!toggleable id=bar text="\[[!paste id=baz]]"]]
- """]]
-
- [[!cut id=baz text="""
- multiline parameter!
- """]]
