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.

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! + """]] |
