= Display another wiki page within a wiki page

== Description

This plugin allows full Trac wiki pages to be displayed inside other Trac wiki pages. This is useful if there is a piece of content (such as a contact table or log) that needs to be displayed in multiple places, as it eliminates the need for each instance of this content to be maintained.

== Download

Download the zipped source from [pypi:TracSubPages here].

== Installation

 * Manually:
   * Download and untar the source directory.
   * Drop the compiled egg into the plugins directory of your Trac instance:
   {{{#!sh
   $ python setup.py bdist_egg
   $ cp dist/CustomSelectAdmin<ADDITIONAL-INFO>.egg <PATH-TO-TRAC-INSTANCE>/plugins
   }}}
 * Globally:
   * easy_install the egg so it will apply to all Trac instances:
     {{{#!sh
     $ easy_install TracSubPages
     }}}

Add the following lines to your `trac.ini` file:
{{{#!ini
[components]
TracSubPages.* = enabled
}}}

Or, if you you don't have access to `trac.ini` but do have the `TRAC_ADMIN` permission (the Admin panel shows up in the main nav
when you're logged in), you can go to the Plugins section within the Admin area and check 'Enabled' next to !CustomSelectAdmin.

== Usage

The syntax for the subpage macro is as follows:

{{{
[[subpage(wiki_page[, show_link])]]
}}}

Where `wiki_page` is the wiki page. No url is needed here, nor a `wiki/` prefix, just the page. 

The macro supports pages that aren't top-level too ('!BigCategory/SpecificSubject'). The second argument, `showlink` is an optional argument (`true` or `false`) that determines whether or not a link to edit the rendered page will be shown at the bottom of the subpage section. The link reads 'Edit Section' and provides a link directly to the edit page of the referenced wiki page.
