Glossary
- transclusion
- The inclusion of a document or document part into another document, temporarily by reference rather than by embedding the same content. It is a feature of substitution templates. For example, a web page document viewed in a browser often includes content transcluded from a variety of documents or document parts originating from different servers, producing a compound document. Transclusion has among its advantages the maintenance of a single editing point for recurring content, allowing changes in one document "part" to be automatically propagated to all other documents that transclude the edited document. Transclusion can be thought of as a method of interoperability. See generally Wikipedia article.See also: compound document, inclusion
