Yah, "transclusion" is definitely not the first word any normal person
thinks of :-)

I looked through the installed extensions on the LibO Wiki... but I
didn't spot LST in there.  So, it's probably not installed.  This
means you can transclude whole pages, but (as far as I know) you
cannot transclude parts of pages.  I don't know how interesting LST
might be for people.  It has its good and bad points like any MWiki
extension.
