  1. RS 13:22, 13 March 2006 (EST): Inclusion of content from parts of pages. Currently you can include content from a page into the current page using {{:Page name}}. It would be nice to also be able to include content from a subsection of a page like this {{:Page name#Topic name}}. This may require a software modification rather than an extension (and thus be beyond our capabilities), but I thought I would put the request here anyway.

    • RS 13:37, 13 March 2006 (EST): Well the case I just encountered was wanting to include {{:Synthetic Biology:Vectors/Single copy plasmid#Layout}} on the Synthetic Biology:Vectors/Wishlist under the pSB5* heading. I could spin out the information to a separate page, but ideally I would like to leave it on the original page and just include it elsewhere.
