Labeled Section Transclusion (LST) offers two basic ways to specify a "section" of a page for transclusion. One way uses the page name and a heading (section title, as seen on the rendered page). The other way enables an arbitrary "section" for transclusion, but it requires markup first in order to add the label.
Three functions can transclude a section from a given page name.
Note that there are also equivalent names for these functions, the base names being #lst
, #lstx
, and #lsth
.
To prepare an arbitrary "section" for a labeled section transclusion, mark it with begin and end attributes inside <section />
tags that contain your label:
Compared to LST transclusion, partial transclusion markup cannot be labeled, and thus the source page cannot have one set of its sections transcluded to one page while having also a different set for another page. A page marked up with partial transclusion tags only, will always transclude the same. But LST and partial transclusion can work together on the same page.
These LST functions take additional parameters, as explained below. § Example pages provides search links for the articles that currently employ LST so you can see how they are using it.
