Hello,
I've been trying to figure out how to include one article into another for some time but can't seem to find out how. What I'm trying to do is create several articles that are included in another article. The idea is that changing Article 1 or Article 2 below would automatically change Article 3 and Article 4 below. Sorry for the longwinded explanation...
Thanks, Justin
Article 1 ---- * A * B * C
Article 2 ---- *1 *2 *3
Article 3 (sudo-markup) ---- <include Article 1> <include Article 2>
Article 3 (view) ---- * A * B * C *1 *2 *3
Article 4 (sudo-markup) ---- <include Article 2> <include Article 1>
Article 4 (view) ---- *1 *2 *3 * A * B * C

Yes, you can do that easily. The process is called transclusion.
Your Article 3 would simply contain {{:Article 1}} {{:Article 2}}
And Article 4 would be: {{:Article 2}} {{:Article 1}}

Is there a way to do this so that "What links here" on Article 3 is "Article 1" and "Article 1"?
I think instead what happens by default is that "What links here" on Article 3 is the many links "in" Article 1 and Article 2, instead of just "Article 1" and "Article 2".
