@erwanm I ended up making some fairly extensive tweaks. One issue is that the (excellent) material you’ve provided on transclusion with templates covers very much the same ground as the existing TemplateTiddlers tiddler. The existing text was focused on transclusion with widgets; I think your material using transclusion notation is much easier to understand. I’ve also removed the exercises section. We don’t have exercises elsewhere in the documentation, so I think we need to make a conscious decision about whether we’re going to try to add them, and then do so consistently across the material. I also made some changes to bring the text into house style for consistency (which I’ve also tried to start documenting).

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion">Transclusion</a> is the process of referencing one tiddler "A" from another tiddler "B" such that the content of "A" appears to be a part of "B".
|
|
|
|
Copying and pasting content creates multiple copies of the same content in several different places. With transclusion, there can be a single copy and a special instruction in "B" which indicates the point at which content should be inserted from tiddler "A".
|
|
|
|
Note that if the content of "A" is modified then the modification automatically appears in "B". This makes it easier to maintain repetitive content, by allowing every piece to be written in a single place, but viewed from many.
|
|
|
|
The concept of transclusion plays an important role in the [[Philosophy of Tiddlers]] because it is the primary way in which small items of content are combined.
