+I'd like to use the cutpaste plugin, but not only on a file-local basis: fileA
+has \[[!cut id=foo text="foo"]], and fileB does \[[!absorb pagenames=fileA]],
+and can then use \[[!paste id=foo]].
+
+Therefore, I've written an [*absorb* directive /
+plugin](http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/tmp/absorb.pm), which is meant to
+absorb pages in order to get hold of their *cut* and *copy* directives'
+contents. This does work as expected. But it also absorbs page fileA's *meta*
+values, like a *meta title*, etc. How to avoid / solve this?
+
+Alternatively, do you have a better suggestion about how to achieve what I
+described in the first paragraph?

+Have you considered trying the [[plugins/contrib/field]] plugin, and its associated plugins? [[plugins/contrib/ymlfront]] can give you the source (\"cut\") and [[plugins/contrib/getfield]] and/or [[plugins/contrib/report]] can get you the value (\"paste\") including the values from other pages.
