[Mediawiki-l] "In-line"-ing article

[Rick Payton]

Transclusion is what you're after I believe.

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion

Basically, you have an articles named Cat that you want displayed on the
front page, so you would literally add the following to your front page:
{{:Cat}} - be warned that doing so will include the ENTIRE article.
There may be a way to show only a part of the article, but I don't know
how to do that.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Everybody,

I apologize if this is a noob question; I actually consider myself
pretty good at digging this type of thing up but after hours upon hours
of googling I'm still unable to come up with an answer to what I would
think would be a seemingly simple question to answer.  Basically I am
building a personal website and I would like to use media wiki to store
some documentation that I am generating.  I have a little menu bar at
the top of my page; its pretty simple, just HTML & CSS with tables
generated by PHP.  If you really want to see it you can just go here
http://128.135.217.176.  Nothing fancy.  Anyway,  what I would like to
be able to do would be to 'in-line' an article into this page, but
without having to use frames or anything like that.  The 'body' section
of  my page is basically just a cell of a table.  So the actual
'in-line' PHP code would have to be between  a couple of <td> tags. 

Anyway, it seems pretty easy to do this using for example, wordpress,
using the integration features described here.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website.  Is
there a way to do anything like this with a mediawiki article?  

I apologize if this is such a silly question.

Thanks,

Dan
