This one’s a bit buried in a GitHub issue but a creative way to use space script to include a part of your page in another:

# Issue Allow for include to only include specific parts of a page ### descr…iption Make it possible to only include specific parts of an page. This could be made possible, by markup in the included page: ## Example: ### `included_page.md` ``` # This is includepage ## Description This is a description of the include ## Usage Include `included_page.md` for FOO or BAR It consists of two ranges, you can include: * FOO : This is the standard-Text for FOO * BAR : This is the standard-Text for BAR FOO foo foo Foo BAR bar bar Baz ``` ### `including_page.md` ``` # Including only BAR BAR bar bar Baz -------- # Including only FOO FOO foo foo Foo ``` ## notice * The section title is optional * When the includer specifies a section that is not available in the to-be-included page, then the result is empty * When the includer does not specify a section, then the result depends on the to-be-included page: * If the included page does not define an `include_range` then the result is the whole page (**backward compatibility**) * If the included page defines an `include_range` without a section name, then the result is this section * If the included page defines one or multiple `include_range`s with section names, then the result will be all the sections with that name in the order they appear in the included page
